It's alive!!
Yesterday I finished the amp and it's alive!!
It's very quite, no noises, cracks or hisses. There was a little 50Hz hum but I guess that's because I didn't use a grounded wallsocket. The preamp is running on +/- 18V and is doing just fine. Guess that the lifetime of the chip is shortened by running on it's max. voltagerating, but I can change it quite easily if I need to.
Didn't really had the time to test out the amp because my daughter already was asleep (and my wife wanted to watch her favorite tv-show...) But first impressions are good. I build the preamp of a Marshall Lead 12 and it definitely has the Marshall flavour, especially with the high-input it rocks like crazy.
This evening i'll make some time to test it at volume and to hear what it is capable of. Very curious!
