Da, am facut 2. https://hgecontraptions.blogspot.com/2017/05/built-my-second-klon-centaur-clone-with.html L-am facut prin 2017 al doilea (ambele erau cam dark ale mele, dar e o varianta fara o modificare la un anume capacitor sa fie brighter, si trebuia tone dat mult mai mult, dar si eu aveam tonul dark anyway, iar potul de gain dual l-am scos in 2 poturi separate, pt more tweaking). Customers liked it so...dunno. Mi-a placut mai mult ca light booster, cu putin od din el. Nu as putea spune cert ca e ceva cu schema sau nu, dar the dudes from tagboardeffects sunt destul de psycho cu astea, asa ca dunno, poate o fi o alta varianta anume clonata. Se poate face sa sune ''in multe feluri'' bagand 2 switchuri pt enspe mii de variante de diode/si enspe mii de capacitori diferiti dar....scheletul e acelasi anyway. Mie mi se pare un overhyped piece of whatever ''insert X pedal here with GE diodes for clipping''. E ok dar...nimic special. E un circuit/o schema/are o reteta/nimic magic. Ma amuz maxim cand vad hype la pedale ce chiar n-au nimic special sau nu e nimic WOW inside/diferit. Asta e ce am tras original mai dark, si al doilea e ulterior mai enhanced putin, ca totu facusem sa fie mai plush dark da a iesit cam prea dark haha. 116581822_HGEContraptions-KLONCentaur.mp3 KLON Centaur clone 16khz enhanced.mp3 ************************************************************************************************************************************ Am preferat in aceiasi idee/vena, Maxon OD820, caruia I se mai spune si the ''Unicorn Killer''. (si prefer 1n4148 la diode in varianta asta decat the germanium low forward meh, iese si better gain content, devine si super nervoasa, nu too fuzzy-ish etc) HGE Contraptions - Maxon OD820 (samples single-hb).mp3 IMO, multi cam urmaresc ''centauri verzi pe pereti''

Did some corrections on a 96-97 Fender US neck that I bought some time ago for a possible future personal project: - levelled and crowned the fretwire; - corrected the already previously done scalloped fretboard (it was scratched and it didn't look really good); - the neck back was horribly sanded with nothing added after... it got really dirty and sticky, yuck! -> I sanded it again to remove the grime, and applied tru oil to get the finish back and normal again;

Mesa era si asa shitshow to work on if something failed, acum o sa fie EPIC 🍿

Elixir 9-46, doar ca am solderuit putin spirele din capat la corzi. La Kahleru 2300 e un pull imens exercitat, si tind sa se desire. E un trick, daca nu folosesti corzi cu matisare extra pentru a preveni desfasurarea. Tine tuningul chiar foarte bine.

Tnx man , apreciez. Am stat ceva sa mod it/sa-l transform in ceva better (full lytic cap changes + 22 part values changed + pus si Choke). A disparut fizz-ul ciudat + gain pot-ul devine mai util(si less fizz gain la orice pozitie a pot-ului) . EQ-ul e foarte amplu acum. Era putintel straniu inainte desi suna decentel, dar e much better now. @shredder666 Pana la urma...ce ai facut?

Nope, I never use pedals.

Foarte misto, chiar si la volume mici si ampul fiind foarte atenuat

HGE Contraptions (DIY hobby) -> Pedale Chitara Handmade / Modari Pedale / Wiring si Setup Chitare / Reparatii Ampuri https://www.facebook.com/hgecontraptions http://hgecontraptions.blogspot.ro/ HGE Contraptions a devenit in timp un un mini business, dar a revenit la ceea ce a fost initial: doar hobby-ul meu personal. Puteti urmari aceasta pagina daca sunteti curiosi, pentru a vedea diverse operatiuni/reparatii/proiecte ce tin de chitare si amplificatoare (si nu numai). (Nu voi posta des, decat daca am proiecte proprii din cand in cand, si asta va fi destul de rar)

Portabilitate in sens ca, e problema pt tine ca dimensiune fizica, sau doar greutate? Sugera mai sus kiske13 ideea de un 2 x 12 si mi-a dat de gandit cu un exemplu propriu, dintr-o experienta foarte recenta: Am cumparat de pe forum un cab 2 x 12 DV Mark Greg Howe signature de 300W total, ce are difuri cu magneti de neodymium (powerful but light). Tot cabul...are DOAR 13.4 KG desi e 2 x 12. Cabul Harley Benton cu 1 x 12 V30, are aprox 14 kg, deci din start ai optiune daca portabilitatea vizavi de greutate e o problema, sa mergi pe variante de genul asta, unde puterea exista, iar greutatea e mai mica decat un 1 x 12. In contrast, in poza de mai jos, Palmeru din stanga de sub ampu Ceriatone, are 15.1 KG GOL, e si mai mic ca adancime decat DV Mark, si total cu difurile G12-K100 ce le am in el, are cam 24.5 kg.... Practic cab de 200W, mai mic, de 24.5 KG vs cab de 300w, mai mare, de doar 13.4 Kg total. Think about such an option as well.

Desi sunt foarte de acord cu importanta cabului/difului, personal nu as lua ampul...dupa cab. De ce ai face asta? De ce nu mergi pe calea de good amp first(pivi, evh, cele enumerate), si in cab 1x12....bagi un dif de 100-150W gen care sa duca headurile alea ? Sunt destule difuzoare ce le-ai putea gasi. Ce inseamna la tine head full size? Pt ca astea noi EVH sunt mai mici ca footprint/greutate, fata de alea mari gen 5150/6534 originalele. Later Edit: am avut V22 in ceva reparatii, mie mi s-a parut un amp foarte ok, ba chiar l-am recomandat in varianta combo unui baiat de nou sa si-l ia, si chiar il canta acum cu trupa....but, it doesn't hold a candle to the high gain EVH/Pivi series...

:)) sunt aici ultimele 5 videos. It sounds massive and it screams Asta e singuru din alea ce e ''micd'' , restu sunt phone recordings, modul fiind plexi mai classic (fara 80s sau modern modes on, care sunt on in celelalte samples)

Nu am apucat sa pun poze:

Pics cu interiorul chiar de la acest amp, mai jos. Este fenomenal https://hgecontraptions.blogspot.com/2020/02/music-man-hd212-130-1978-combo-repaired.html Si un sample: Bafta la vanzare

Am terminat si eu de construit kitul de la Ceriatone Chupacabra 50 Hot Rodded Plexi (l-am cumparat ca un lego mare, direct de la Ceriatone vorbind cu ownerul Nik; nimic nu a fost asamblat/lipit, eu am facut tot, fiind primul amp facut de mine ) A fost o experienta faina, si suna killer , mergand din prima tot, fara nici o problema. Am incercat sa lucrez cat am putut de estetic (ca si la clonele mele de pedale).. Next stop, probabil SLO100. Pot sa vand lejer Peaveyul 6534+ Poze, it goes to 11 !

Ai gresit topicul Posteaza aici te rog: https://forums.rgc.ro/forum/38-caut-trupã/

Salut, din pacate eu nu ma mai ocup cu dinastea. Spor cu chitara

I want to officially announce that I will no longer be handling HGE Contraptions, due to personal reasons and time. Consequently, I will NOT be taking any more work of any kind whatsoever. Of course I will finish the pending work I have, but that's about it. Thank you so much for your 12+ years of cooperation and the appreciation for what I did here. I will possibly fall back to playing with musical instruments again/make my own music, as I have done until some years ago, but didn't have time. All the best! *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Vreau sa anunt in mod oficial ca nu ma voi mai ocupa de HGE Contraptions, din motive total personale si ce tin de timp. In consecinta, nu mai preiau nici o lucrare de nici un fel. Desigur ca voi finaliza lucrarile ce le mai am , dar cam atat. Va multumesc mult pt cooperarea de 12+ ani si aprecierile pt ceea ce am facut. Posibil sa ma rezum doar la a ma distra cu instrumente muzicale/face muzica proprie, cum am facut pana acum ceva ani, dar nu am avut timp. Numai bine!
