Where I'm coming from....
I've always held a penchant for
Hi-Performance machines and
Rock n Roll..... and I'd be hard
pressed to come up with any two
things that complement each other
any more than two of America's
biggest legends: Harley Davidson,
and Rock n Roll (played through
good 'ole Tube Amps, of course)!!
Well, the Harleys were there,
BUT...had it not been for the tube
amps, I'm not so sure Rock would
have made it.
The following is a small 'journal'
of some of the things I've been
involved with. I hope you enjoy!

The Moonlight Amp
My very first amp build...complete with Delft trannies, switchable between multiple tonestacks (standard, Baxandall, and bypassed), polished chassis, and walnut sides. This is a low powered (1 watt) guitar amp that gets a nice cranked-amp tone at low levels. However, don't let the '1 watt' thing fool you....it can shake the floor when playing through a 4x12 cab!
I also have other Tube Amp projects in addition to the Moonlight and the TrainWreck (Ken Fischer is THE man!) inspired amps which are shown here....some are completed, and some are currently works in progress. I'll add pics of them as soon as I can get chance to do it. Among these are a Tweed Champ, an 18 Watter, a Marwatt (an 18 Watt variant with a TMB stack), a second Express style amp, a restoration project on a 1960 Fender Concert Amp (Brown-face 6G12 w/4x10), and some recap/repair work. Never enough time in the day.... :-( |
Thanks for stopping in, and
I hope you enjoy your visit!

The Stroker Shovel
My trusty 'ole Shovelhead. This bike and I have been through a lot together. Over the years, I've cut the rear section of the frame out, modified the angles and fabricated new frame tubes, bored and stroked the motor to 96 inches, and went through countless other mods on it. Pretty much everything about the bike was either handbuilt or modified by myself (of course I had a hand from a friend or two at times, when needed). The bike's a beast, and it's great fun screwing with the jap-bike guys between red-lights! (They never expect a Harley to run like this!)
*In case you're wondering, yes, that IS a rigid frame oil bag you see, and YES, it still has a rear suspension. It also still has an electric start (along with the kicker), and has retained a basically stock ground clearance. Not impressed? Well, ok...the seat height only comes up to the top of my knee caps....that's really pretty low! It took a bit of head-scratching to engineer all this out and make everything work together properly, all in one shot, and without hacking it up.
