Guys,

Doug created a amp photo gallery for us!  I've seen some of your amp pictures and there is some phenomenol work done by Hoffman forum members.

Take a few minutes and post some of your best work here:

With respect, Tubenit

Is there a way to organize, or logically group pix related to a particular build, or can we only add pix to this one "misc" folder?  Or user-based folders would be nice.

There is a thread on the amp photo gallery here:

Maybe that will answer your question?

With respect, Tubenit

You can contact Doug and ask him to create a new category for your amp.

This was one freaky build back in 2005. It was a 50 watt amp. (2) EL34. I used two switchable output transformers. One was a 50 watt and the other a 100 watt. Both were Fender schumacher's. It had all the cathode and slope switching bells and whistles. I built it using the chassis of a Crate GX130-C. I dont remember what the cab was but it was Fender. It was a Marshall 2204 circuit. It turned out pretty good for one of my first few tube builds from scratch

You know what might be cool....
Have a gallery just for gut shots. Especially the famous ones.
Everybody likes to see what a real blackface should look like inside.

That's a good idea LC. I've got a set of pics for a '64 Deluxe Reverb that might come in handy for someone.

And guys. Those are some really nice looking amps in the gallery!

Yes, gut shots.  That's what I would really like to see mostly.   Actually, it's great to see a complete amp, inside & out, so you get an idea of the layout, specific components, lead dress, etc. 

Good to see that the gallery is getting a little more action now.

+1 on the vintage gut shot gallery. 

I've got good, detailed pics inside & out of a Princeton Reverb that was all original.  It needed new a few new caps, a couple of resistors swapped, and a new adjustable bias board, so it's not original anymore.  Fortunately, I took the pics first.

Gut shots would help a lot as a reference for problems

I can create categories, but no one has asked yet

I'll do a gut shot gallery category

I have to admit after looking at it again thats a pretty inspiring couple of pages. I love all of them and I have to say that there is everything from old school to future retro, you guys do good work.

There used to be a site called Amp Chassis Pics, or something similar, which did what it said on the tin - lots of gut shots of vintage and new amps.

It seems to have sunk without trace.  Does anyone have it archived? or the url for it to look up in an archive site?  Would be great if it could be retrieved for Doug to host, together with our own build photo's
