TT Bauteilesatz Emma

• David C., 20.11.2021
  Emma is my first DIY valve amp project. Before that I tried to hone my soldering skills with a few LoV pedal projects. Strangely, most of the pedals did not work first time, whereas Emma worked from the first plug!
  As a total beginner, I took a lot of time before and during the build (probably 5 hours or research and 15 to 20 hrs build). I must confess I also bought for a few bucks on another DIY amp site (a german one also, but I won't name it ;-) the complete documentation (25 pages) for a comparable small blues practice amp, and it helped for some steps where the layout plan is a bit 'dry'. I can also recommend the useful Youtube tutorial from Götz Müller (on TT Wild 13, but the architecture is the same).
  
  And as guitarist, the most important: the sound.
  To compare it, I have a Vox AC10 and a Palmer Eins (1w). I like Emma's sound as much as Vox AC10, a bit less brighter (no chime:-) but more bluesy, clear and consistent until mid volume, then getting a bit dirty (blues dirt, nothing dangerous!). Tried on both Tele and Strat and a few pedals, and my favorite sound is with a slight overdrive (TS808) and a Tele. It also supports very well a RAT clone, with little drive.
  I now need to build a nice casing to protect it, and then look forward to trying another project from TT.
  Thanks to TT for the nice work, all carefully packaged, and customer service answering within a day. did not work first time, whereas Emma worked from the first plug!

  Der Zusammenbau hat bei mir inklusive Tolex Beklebung des Headshells knapp 4 Tage gedauert.
  
  Clean Sound ist sehr cool bei der Emma.
  Um einen schönen Crunch Sound zu bekommen muss man die Endstufe schon recht weit ausfahren, was "für zu Hause" schon fast zu laut ist - Der Crunch Sound klingt aber gerade in Kombination mit einer Strat richtig gut.
  
  Bohrlöcher der Faceplate Vorlage musste ich etwas korrigieren.
  
  Sehr gutes Kit - Habe schon Lust auf das nächste LoW-Kit bekommen. einen schönen Crunch Sound zu bekommen muss man die Endstufe schon recht weit ausfahren, was "für zu Hause" schon fast zu laut ist - Der Crunch Sound klingt aber gerade in Kombination mit einer Strat richtig gut.
