Some new Forrest Cook stuff

[Mark Hammer]

Forrest Cook has been busy the past year or two.  Some recent things up at his page, all using tubes.  Worth looking at.

The Hammond triple transformer array is the most interesting to me in the phaser/chorus.  I did not know Hammond used coils with multiple winds to change the L by driving one or more coils.

looks like he's onto some very cool stuff.  those hammonds can be had for cheap, and i'd love to give that phase a listen. 

i liked this the best though-

"Plug the amp into a guitar speaker. Plug an electric guitar into the input. Tweak the knobs for a good sound, start playing, enjoy the amazing sound. Effect pedals are not required with this amp, true "pedal weenies" are free to disagree. Remember, with all tube-amps, putting a solid state pedal between the guitar and amp loses much of the benefit of the all-important tube preamp stage with its wide dynamic range."

yeah, but forrest, what if i don't "want wide dynamic range"?

I've experimented with a tube phase shifter, never got it sorted. This on the other hand is awesome.

Bonus points for clever use of iron.

That phaser/chorus sure looks interesting. Would love to hear how it sounds.
