That's odd......... it pulls right up with my computer?

OK, I just tried it on my laptop (using wireless) & it pulled right up and played on it also.

me too.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

After a careful, thorough, and exhaustive study of 'Nits internet protocol, structure, data transfer, content manager, and the actual raw data itself - I have discovered that there is a very serious problem associated with the clip that was posted.  It plays fine on my Apple, and Win7 laptop.  The amp itself sounds fantastic.  HOWEVER, there seems to be a thin, lifeless, a......lacking quality about it.  It was hard to put my finger on it.  But then I remembered.  It's.....the tele.......  I would suggest that you re-post the clip using a real guitar and all these compatibility issues will go away.  If you need additional counseling associated with the withdrawal symptoms associated with this behavior, please let me know.  Being unable to maintain a normal state without the use of this horrible artificial substance can be difficult. Tele addiction is closely related to compulsion, in which the body or mind seeks a rewarding reaction from a behavior that is harmful to others around you.

Carolina SongBird
« Reply #10 on: July 04, 2011, 07:16:34 pm »
I rebuilt the mini-TOS into a Carolina SongBird.  Using a 6K6 now and a 12A_7 in the OD gain section.

Still a tiny SE amp with 3 watts.  :l2:


The  amp with the mid-boost switch engaged.

All that experimentation, wandering down dark alleys, etc. sure paid off!  :icon_biggrin:

I love the tone on that last tune with the mid-boost on.


Cheers,

Chip

We have proven once again no plan survives contact with the enemy, or in this case, with the amp.
