Jet City Pico Valve (THD design)

[Steve A.]

In case anyone's interested, they're $99 at GC as I type this.

I just checked on their site- it said $299.99 but out of stock/discontinued.
They are built well with good iron but I was waiting for them to drop to about $100-125 so that I could buy more to play around with. Like a PicoSLO, maybe. Or a PicODS? (I think that another 12AX7 socket could be added.)

I rewired the preamp to the Trainwreck Rocket specs (the Rocket being the KF improved version of the AC30.)

EDIT Google did show an expired MF listing for $99.99. Darn!

Sorry I didn't mention it sooner. I heard about the sale late last night on Talkbass, and I had heard mixed reviews on the amp, so I wasn't sure if I really wanted one. But at $99 it seemed to be worth the risk so I ordered one in the wee hours of the morning. I figured that at $99 at least it might be worth it for the box and the iron. They were still available earlier today when I mentioned the $99 price in my post, but they seem to be sold out now.

Sorry that I didn't say something in time to help you.

I was looking through my hard drives and found 2 pictures of the top of the board after I did the PicoRocket mod.

P.S. I will pull the board out for pix showing what I did on the copper side. BTW one of the cut traces was to reconfigure the bright switch. The other cuts were to reconfigure the tone stack from F/M/V to the special Trainwreck wiring which probably didn't make that big of a difference but what the heck when you have a Dremel tool everything looks like a trace that needs to be cut!

stuff i found yesterday, its missing the cathode resistor value for the power tube, and sheet 2 is someones mods they did to improve the clean sound & make the amp a bit more useable (so they say)
