This site contains thoughts, ponderings, and contraptions that contain voltages and currents well in excess of the lethal limit(Read:
THEY WILL KILL YOU). assume NOTHING on this site is safe in any way, shape or form. In fact, assume it wants you dead more than anything on the planet and will stop at nothing to realize this. also note: I am in no way responsible for you and yours if you attempt to build anything on this site. I strongly recommend you don't, actually.
Now that we've that out of the way, I'll introduce myself and this site properly.
I am currently a student at Michigan Tech studying Electrical Engineering. I play several Instruments and am also poor as hell. therefore, I build a lot of things that other people are too damn lazy too. some may make the argument that in the long run its cheaper to buy, but... then you don't get to build it.
I built a tube guitar amplifier about a year ago with the help of the wonderful and knowledgeable people over at ax84.com . Since then, I have prototyped and theorized many things along similar lines. Right now I am on a team of midwesterners competing to design the best guitar amp possible. additionally, My friend Alex and I are in the midst of building a few hifi amps.
I own several guitars, a Yamaha rgx-2, a 133$ P90 loaded strat knockoff I bought from rondo music (one helluva deal, btw. great guitar), a hagstrom 12-string electric, an ovation acoustic(dont remember the model. it was 400$), a modified squier telecaster, and an 80s low end ibanez bass. nothing incredibly special, but I've gotten pretty good at setting up these guitars, so they all play and sound pretty nice.
I bought the yamaha in Rome last summer. I needed something to play while I was on vacation, and its the lightest guitar I've ever played. It's quite nice plugged in, too.
Ill detail more stuff later.
Essentially this is a place to post pics, clips, and schematics of shit I'm doing.
