TS808 complete!

Took about 30mins from start to finish and worked first time with no problems.

There was a 511k resistor missing though so I had to nip out to Maplins to get a replacement.

The toughtest bit of this build was the switch wiring as it's all so close together.

Here are some pictures of it currently. I am going to design a finish & paint it soon.

I'm still alive!!!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that this project is still on the go. I just havent really gotten around to doing much with it as I want to wait until all the parts are here.

The majority of the parts are now here including the Chassis which is an absolute work of art!

The custom pickup from Hayden @ Bulldog pickups is an absolute beast! It turned out a lot better than I ever imagined it would.

Its hot, tight, articulate, has a very hifi sound to it and cleans up amazingly well. I shall be posting some clips of it in the near future along with the SLO Clone when the build is complete.

The first package for the SLO has arrived!

So here we have it, the real beginning.

In my possession now are all the resistors, capacitors, PCB's and a few of the switches and LDR's etc.

I can finally get started with populating these and hopefully the rest should arrive shortly and i should have the amp finished within the next two months max.

I'll be posting more pictures of the PCB's assembled.

Decided upon the remaining build parts

I have been looking around at the various electronics suppliers for getting the remaining components,chasis,transformers & headshell.

I have come to the conclusion that getting all of these from different places that I would have to do is going to end up costing more in the long run with shipping and minimum orders.. The remaining cap I need is only available in quantities of 2,500 at $4.15 each!! Mental.

On the transformer front I just got an email back from Heyboer regarding custom transformers for this project. It turns out it will cost more than getting the Hi-Def transformer set from O'netics which was designed for this project and has proven to be up there with the best.

And the chasis,pots,switches,wire etc i am going to get from Rob @ c3amps.

So all in all I can get EVERYTHING that I need to finish the build from one place!.

Hopefully I shall be ordering them over the next month or so.

And the project begins

I have ordered the first lot of parts for my SLO build. Whats on the way is as follows.

All resistors
All Capacitors (apart from one but its easy to get hold of)
A few of the switches
All the rectifiers other than DB101
PCB's Pre & Power (smashguitars)

A big thanks goes out to Koa-Dogg from sloclone forums for this great deal that saved me over £100

And here's a picture of the goodies!
