This one was really fun to draw. And really fast. The best of both worlds.
Now then, here’s some amp pictures. First the outside:
I posted this before I revised my design. Differences are:
I’m only using three preamp tubes (6N2P – similar to the traditional 12AX7)
The power tubes have gone from EL34 to 6V6.
The massive filter caps and the choke are gone.
My boost selector rotary switch is gone (the fifth knob)
Now the inside:
It looks a bit like a rat’s nest, but it is actually quite organized. I’ll probably be redoing the two rightmost boards this weekend (power supply and power amp), as well as trimming all the interconnecting wires to size and soldering them directly to the boards rather than using the quick connectors. It was a decent idea in theory, but it just doesn’t work very well in practice. Too many issues with intermittent connections and microphonics. Should be fun!
Oh, also DRGP turns 6 months old today. Wild.
I have to say, I love this comic. Been looking for a long time for one like yours, and the fact that you are a musician that actually does repairs as well? Just awesome!! Great Work!
Thanks very much! I’m glad you like it. I debated for a while whether I should make a more generic comic or just dive fully into the niche I care about – music gear. Glad to hear the latter is working 🙂
There ate plenty of generic comics. We need more comics by people who are sharing what they love–like you.
Hey, I don’t know a lot about the actual specifics of music gear. Even though I played guitar in my youth. Well, only acoustic I admit.
I still enjoy your comic to no end. First, you’ll actually explain quite a lot of what I don’t get. And the small rest is easily googled if push comes to shove.
Also: That is some very creative use of a hung up boss! 😀
Oh, man, I like your sense of humor! And once again the combination of static background-and-boss and moving Rachel-and-strap rack works like a charm.
And she looks so adorable doing it–one would suspect that you really like drawing her. 🙂
I do. Its all about the weighty hair and the big eyes. She’s all expression and I love it.
Brilliant.
I love everything about her in that first panel.
And yes, go for what you love. It’s your comic, after all.
