Alasdair Davis Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi Guys, I started building this amplifier around Christmas, I finished it in March and have since decided to start work on some new ideas and turn it in to a company. I hope you guys can give me some feedback as I respect the quality of work that seems to be posted here. Unfortunately I'm having to sell this amplifier to raise capital to build my new idea which is a version 2 of this amplifier. Same internal components and features but in a smaller box. I'd have liked to have kept this forever but needs must! I hope you enjoy this build thread and like what I'm doing. Again any feedback is gratefully received. If you have any questions I'd love to answer them. Unfortunately not every part of the process is covered in these photos but I've put as much in as I can. In the cabinet I put Celestion Vintage 30s. They are quite heavy but because I've used ultralight materials I have kept the weight down to the same as an equivalent Marshall cabinet. --- The amplifier is quite big but looks are deceiving, this head is lighter than an Engl Powerball. --- This is a promo picture that I took for my website that I've been building... not going so well, they are very hard to make. Please have a look www.davisamplification.com --- This is the amplifier at the famous Rockfield Studios in Wales where many, many famous albums have been recorded. --- I was lucky enough that Robert Plant used the amplifier on a couple of occasions and he was really cool to invite me over to his to have some photos taken with him and the amplifier. He loved the way it looked and sounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Look into something called Drupal. Spend the $50 for a month on Drupalize.me and ingest as much video-info as you can in that month. Websites will become a decent bit easier then IMO. Or if you want even easier, but less customizable... just play with Wordpress. Both these options are cheap too. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Rock royalty if there ever was. Super cool. Rush Hemispheres and Farewell to Kings were recorded there, as well as Queen Night at the Opera with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Prostheta Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Very nice build, and a wonderful way to prove her! +1 on what Chris said. There are many free content management systems out there (CMS) and if you have a look at most sites around the net that you like, chances are you will find they are presented using some form of management system such as those mentioned.

Alasdair Davis Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it. Will look in to those CMS sites you recommended. Really want a website that matches the quality of the amplifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Get in touch with somebody with an actual graphic design qualification or at least practical experience in the industry. Mr Verhoeven will be your veritable fount of knowledge on that score also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm a graphic designer and concur with Prostheta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
