speaking of - would it be possible to conjure up a VOX Supreme preamp mated to a DR103 Power amp? :paranoid: :hyper: :paranoid:

Possible, yes. Feasibility depends on which parts of the Vox circuit you wanna use. The specs of the reverb section, for instance, are kind of a guessing game and would be hard to mail 100%.

this idea's been brewing in my head ever since the Supreme landed. i run it and the 103 in tandem and i'd like to not have to tote two amps around to play.
my back keeps sending me cease and desist letters. i'll get at you email style sometime this week.

My local shop and vendor, Main Drag Music, is celebrating their 25th anniversary today with an open house and swap meet kinda deal. I'm manning a table as a builder just to chat about my shit and also selling a couple of one-offs from the past that I have kicking around. While I was at it I whipped up a quick driver with some on-hand items. A muff that's not a muff....low gain "Russian" style setup with softer clipping and a treble roll-off instead of the scooped BMP stack.

Hot Rod Deluxe magic trick:

Near-complete gut job, kept the existing iron and chassis. Replaced the circuit with a more traditional BF style preamp, with a proper master volume and cathode biased 6L6 output stage. Like the big brother to the BF-15s that I've made before. Fantastic clean tones that compress beautifully as you drive it hard.
