I have switched between the Crack and Whammy many times but I would not call them close. The tests i will be doing involve about 20 criteria per device so I will see how those two stack up at some point, as well as the Mainline in some blind testing. Five levels for each type of criteria. Most likely there will be 15 tube amps and about the same number of solid state so if the two score closely it will definitely show.
Looking forward to the book
Spreadsheet?
If you want a challenge, (not necessarily amazing sound quality) you should take on a Schiit Coaster amp sometime. Part of the fun is trying to mount one in an enclosure. I have a bunch of the blank boards so I could always send you one or two of those. This one was part of an MC Escher look I was going for but I could never get the globe to fit properly in a cast copy of my right hand.
Thanks for the pointer to the coaster, the advice, and the offer. I’m gonna pass on the coaster for now. I very not happy with my whammy build; it’s the enclosure and how I mounted it that I don’t like. I’m debating just getting another enclosure and transferring the board to it rather than a whole new build. A $60 cost for my learning more about what to think about with cases. For me, the lesson was “make sure I have easy access to everything in the case”. A decent cast cost $85 from aliexpress, or I could just get another of the same case and 'punt the board upside down like @Hi did.Allan, I am glad that wire worked out for you and your skills are growing and growing.If you want a challenge, (not necessarily amazing sound quality) you should take on a Schiit Coaster amp sometime.
