Sluckey's website is back!
« on: December 12, 2015, 03:21:51 pm »
I'm back! Thanks to a good hearted forum member.  :occasion14:   Hopefully it's all as it was except that I've added my AO-63 conversion project. It's even faster than the Comcast server too.

Here's the new address...   http://sluckeyamps.com/

I'll include the site in my personal info as well. I'll move this message to the "Other" section in a few days.

...Steve

I looked! Great amp projects there. One that I keep thinking about after I left the site was that old vintage Ampeg cab/amp re-purpose. It just looks different in a cool kind of way. Platefire

Does anyone know of any videos /audios showing the SLuckey 18W amp (November?) or similar, to hear the difference between EL84 cathode vs. grid bias, yes NFB/no NFB, etc?

I'd like a friend to hear some of that before convincing him he 'needs' some of those features. He's half-day there... :@)

Thanks

Tired of the little anemic amps, people making fun of him, questioning his manhood, not being heard above the adult amps in the room, and having sand kicked in his face at the beach - Sluckey decided he needed to re-invent himself.  So after a quick google search, Steve is heading in a new direction.  His search for "how to build a mans man amp", has given him new ideas and he is building again.  Recently unclassified photos reveal his latest project.

I do not divulge my sources, but Silvergun swears this is true....

What is wrong with you?
Sluckey would NEVER wear that stupid looking hat!

We all know that the lineup of 88s is the heating element on his chicken rotisserie.

I learned so much from his website that I prepared for this day by downloading all of those priceless pdfs onto thumb drives so I can sell em on ebay.

I still think that if he sold ad space on his site it would at least pay for his beer.

I would be curious to know the traffic #s. I'll bet there are waaaaayyy more people Google'ing sluckey than #old-ass-washed-up-Blackmore.

If you want a home for all your amp content, I can upload it to my server and you could link people to it here?

Thanks for the offer Doug. One of the generous members provided that website with domain name and FTP access several years ago when Comcast dropped my personal web pages. But now I find my attention shifting so I'm taking a lower profile with amps. (Hopefully with a softer voice too!   :icon_biggrin: ) Still planning to stick around the forum. Once you slap that tar baby it ain't easy to get free. Got tar in my blood now.   :l2:

So Steve,


I’ve got like a million questions about the amps you had posted on your site. When would be a good day for me to call and we can go over them? Actually, make that days, I talk slow and write slower. You can PM me your phone number and address as I may just stop by. I promise not to post it here or any other sites.... No really.  Really.   I’m serious. Don’t ignore me Steve!  Geez I can’t undestand why you would take it down in the first place.
