I'm just going to put the finishing touches to my deacy project over the next few days then i'll post up some pics and advice for first timers like myself. Yep I'm a kit virgin but even i can make the deacy.
Not without the invaluable help of mr Steen who has been a rock.
Thanks

Can't wait to see and hear it Rich. How exciting.

Its sound good if you keep the guitar volume down . Turn it up and its break up city.
I cant wait to see how it reacts with the treble booster.

What kind (and impedance) of speaker are you using?
It should certainly distort with a full input, but it should be nice.

6" 4ohm is recommended.

im using 8ohms right now but i have some 4ohms to try out too

Please remind me how to wire up the dc walwart plug so it dissables the battery when plugged in.
Thanks

You should have three solder terminals.
One is pin, one is shield and the other just operates as a switch to the pin terminal.

Call it shield 1, pin 2, switch 3.
Battery pos get's wired to 3, which is continuous with 2 when there's no jack plugged in.

When you plug in the jack it physically separates 2+3 so battery positive (3) goes nowhere and psu pos goes to 2.

I hear it makes all the difference, even though the schematic says 4-16 ohm.

Thanks mate.
I just had a quick go with the treble booster again you have to keep it on the low but it sounds awesome.
I cant wait to do some recording with it
thanks for the info re the 9v walwart . i'll test the plug to see which is which what does what and wire it up thanks
