The converter I’m getting is from LoveMySwitches and was recommended by my bandmate. His board is a Sonic Research Mini Strobe tuner, Boss Bass Compressor and a Sansamp Paradriver, and for the open mics we’ve done, he hasn’t run into any issues yet.
I’ll be sure to update how it goes when I have everything rigged up.

1472Tony posted this to the Balls thread, but this one is mine.
Not to repeat the good doctor, but this is a clone of my 1972 pics only Orange OR120, but at 50 watts, with a half power switch so I can run it at 25 watts, plus a master volume. I have had a head cold, so I've only got to play it sparingly the last two days, but it rules. I A+B this and the Orange and it really sounds just like the Orange, just more manageable volume and only 25 lbs.
I love (LOVE) the master on this amp and can get such a great (oomphy?) breakup sound that I may ditch two pedals off my board or at least rethink some things because it sounds so good.
Anyways as everyone knows already, if you need an amp, buy something from Dr. Balls, you wont be disappointed (you know this already). Deeply considering selling my 2204 and getting another Balls build.

1474Well this looks badass. If this sounds close to my old OR120 (that you now own), this exact iteration might be something I might save up for.Owen wrote: Mon Feb 17, 2025 10:46 am Tony posted this to the Balls thread, but this one is mine.

Tony, these days I’m kicking myself for not having you put a master on that DC30 clone you built me. Still sounds awesome! Just sometimes a bit loud in some rooms.
Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?
1475Ha. At the time I probably would have dissuaded you from it, as I was more anti Master at the time. Nowadays i've come around to one type of them that I find to work exceptionally well.tommy wrote: Tue Feb 18, 2025 12:54 pm Tony, these days I’m kicking myself for not having you put a master on that DC30 clone you built me.
