Yeah man! Can't wait to see how this shakes out.

This sounds fucking awesome. I wanna get a broken valve jr.or something just so I can try this. Sounds like garage rock heaven.

This is a big reason I'm holding onto my ValveJR. I stumbled across these guys a year or two ago on my search for turret board supplies, and immediately set a bookmark in my browser, and my brain, after seeing those kits.

mathias, I'm super pumped you went with the Supro. I couldn't narrow it down enough to actually commit to purchasing one. Looking forward to following your build. Maybe I'll end up copying you if it turns out well.

I have an unused Harley Benton GA5H head sitting in a box upstairs which i would love to mod into a tiny doom beast. Normally I go with clean amps and use pedals for dirt but would love to have a small simple amp that will give me fuzzed up tones on it's own but at bedroom levels.

Was looking at this site and was thinking it'd be cool to build a meathead or some form of one knob fuzz into it using their auxilary power supply.

That'd be pretty neat. Even a clean boost is all you need to push those little tubes into fuzz heaven. I do it regularly!

Yeah?? Would they still break up that much even at low volumes? A simple lpb boost built into it could be cool if they do

Hell yeah man! It really doesn't take much to push them into overdrive and fuzz heaven. There is also a mod that just removes a jumper, and when you do you sacrifice a little volume, but you get headroom. You could wire a jack with a wire to either side of the jumper, and it could essentially be a psuedo-2 channel amp. That's what I've done to mine. When you plug in a footswitch you can just jumper back the connection allowing you to have a little more grit and volume. That won't get you to fuzz, but its a cool mod. As far as adding a clean boost, the hardest part would be fabricating the auxilary power supply!
