AX84P1 Demo Dirty

My homemade AX84P1 valve amp tested with my homemade Strat Copy. The guitar is directly pluged to the amp (just a Holly Grail reverb in beetween) saved with the camera mic.
The guitar specs are: Maple bold on neck with rosewood fingerboard, cherry bodie. Fender Texas special single pickups.

Thanx endtimex. I made this amp long time ago. I have not the exact values, but is useless anyway. All I did was to adjust the EL84 Bias resistor/cap to the values that I get in my construction and play a lot with the coupling caps, tonestack values and preamp cathode bypass. This adjustement depends a lot on your taste and speakers/Cab. So all you need is your guitar, your ear, a bulk of components to test and a lot of patiencie. Try it, its really fun. Cheers.

Is the P1 a kind of PLEXI clone? Sounds good...

[negrito8558]

@thiaguila Thanks, is just the standard P1 with some adjustment of components values.

What cabinet do you use with this amp? Love this sound, building one ;)

[negrito8558]

@sixtiesseventies The cabinet is a 1x12" homemade with pine. It have an old Goodman Audiom 60.

Sounds awesome! Looking to make one of these. What caps and resistors did you change?

[negrito8558]

Thanks turbinexman.

I dont know what kind of mods did you do to your pedals but talking generally, this is a pedal-friendly amp.

I think you will no need distortion pedals with Hi-Octane, also you will not have clean tone with it.

It is a personal preference but I really prefer the relative clean tone of the P1 with the option to obtain a distorted sound via external pedals. At least for rock, hard-rock and some metal stuffs it is enough.

@negrito8558 I have a Boss SD-1,OD-3,and some DS-1,that I have modified,and I'm wodering about the compatibility of those modded pedals,with this amp? Is the power tube you are using a single EL-84?Is the basic AX 84 P1 enough to use Overdrive and Distortion pedals,or would the "High Octane" model be best for this application,even though it's reccomended for an intermediate level building skill? Thanks,and sounds killer!!
