I ran across an image of this amp on amplates.com and then decided to do a search from the plate name and found this. Also saw that you have a website parked on the internet that says "coming soon". I was just curious if you are still building amps and if that site will be up sometime in the near future. I would love to see what you will be producing. Looks like you will have some very interesting ideas. : )
A truly inspirational video (I have recently become addicted to amp modding / building) - the build / quality components / tone options you have installed should sound amazing. BUT, the big question is (I have to go with donnievaz with this one), why no sound clips / demo of the beast in action?
Sorry about not having a decent clip of the amp posted; I no longer have the amp. It sounds like a Plexi however and will pull off a convincing Van Halen or Rush tone with Greenback speakers. The cascade mod will switch it from Plexi mode to JCM800 mode with a big boost in gain. There it sounds more modern with a tight grind with EV or Vintage 30 speakers. I'd be happy to build you one and then you can hear what it sounds like firsthand! =) Thanks for the comments!
I added quite a few changes such as a variable power supply, switchable rectifiers, and tone mods but the link below is all you need to get started. Cheers!
