Title: My Thunderchief! PICS!
Post by: Fernando Aguirre on June 06, 2004, 08:23:01 PM
Here is my Thunderchief project from runoffgroove.com!
Thanks to all who helped my with a couple of problems i had.

Hammond style enclosure, Fultone cream knobs, blue led (everything bought at smallbearelec.com)
It sounds awesome! i am really happy with it. The sound is very Tube like.
Hope you like the pics (http://image.hostcubix.com/getimg.php?img=thunderchief1.jpg)

Thanks!

I have used J102 fets. They sound very nice.
This thing sounds very ¨real¨, it is one of the best distortion boxes i have ever heard.
The first thing i tried with it was an open g chord with the gain and vol on max, and wow!
AC/DC, ZZ top, Aerosmith, Guns n´ Roses, it is all in this little box.
This guys from runoffgroove are Genius

Thanks Peter!

I used something called Letraset which is a transfer that comes with letter and small designs.
Tomorrow i will clearcoat the box to protect it.

That looks terrific, but for all the newbies out there I bet you meant J201 Fets. Right?

Yes j201 fets, sorry for the mistake.

Kerry, it wasn´t a design of myself, it was one of the designs that came with the transfer.
Thanks for your nice words.
Do you know where can i post soundclips of this? i have a very nice one.
