bertbass Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 As the title says, photos of a Mywatt 200 inside and out for fellow valve addicts in bass player land.

Billy Apple Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Very neat and tidy! Have you posted up a review anywhere, if not please give us your thoughts? Looks like a great bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I used to own a Mywatt 200, lightweight for a full valve amp and awesome, let me rephrase that AWESOMMMMMMMMEEEEE tone. Still a bit sorry I sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yup, looks neat and tidy. All "decent" handwired construction. Not a PCB in sight. chassis-mounted valve bases. All as it should be !! Very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Wow! I've got a serious attack of Valve-GAS at the moment. I'm sure there's something I can take for it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbass Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 The pcb is only used to fix the tags too and not a pcb as such, so true point to point wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree, there's nothing inherently wrong with PCB done right. Proper industrial/spacecraft-grade stuff is just as reliable as any handwiring. It's just that hand-wiring is so much easier for idiots like me to mend and fiddle with, compared with PCB. My soldering is always at risk of wrecking PCBs ! On another note where can you buy these amps, and roughly how much are they ? The Weber/Mywatt website doesn't help at all with these questions. Nor does my googling. I really miss fiddling with my tube guitar amps, now that I'm all bass these days. Edited April 22, 2012 by hamfist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 The 200 was more than £1000 in 2010, I'm still looking for current prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handwiring itself isn't a plus, because someone can still do a rubbish job by hand. Turret construction is easy for fiddling, but pcb can have all the parts labelled on the PCB, which helps with idiot proofing. The turrets on PCB that Matamp use is the ultimate, neat layout and ease of repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Tags isn't point to point either, if there is a tag at either end, its not going from point to point. The preamp baord isn't a through hole PCB, but still a PCB, and the power section board is full on PCB. Not point to point wiring. Point to point means stuff everywhere, because the two points don't ten to be lined up in neat rows when a necessity of bunches of those points is being arranged in circles: http://mhuss.com/AmpInfo/ Here's some point to point: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
