Rezension:
Emma is my first DIY valve amp project. Before that I tried to hone my soldering skills with a few LoV pedal projects. Strangely, most of the pedals did not work first time, whereas Emma worked from the first plug! \r\nAs a total beginner, I took a lot of time before and during the build (probably 5 hours or research and 15 to 20 hrs build). I must confess I also bought for a few bucks on another DIY amp site (a german one also, but I won\'t name it ;-) the complete documentation (25 pages) for a comparable small blues practice amp, and it helped for some steps where the layout plan is a bit \'dry\'. I can also recommend the useful Youtube tutorial from Götz Müller (on TT Wild 13, but the architecture is the same).\r\n\r\nAnd as guitarist, the most important: the sound.\r\nTo compare it, I have a Vox AC10 and a Palmer Eins (1w). I like Emma\'s sound as much as Vox AC10, a bit less brighter (no chime:-) but more bluesy, clear and consistent until mid volume, then getting a bit dirty (blues dirt, nothing dangerous!). Tried on both Tele and Strat and a few pedals, and my favorite sound is with a slight overdrive (TS808) and a Tele. It also supports very well a RAT clone, with little drive.\r\nI now need to build a nice casing to protect it, and then look forward to trying another project from TT. \r\nThanks to TT for the nice work, all carefully packaged, and customer service answering within a day.
