Beware with fake amp makers

[fatboy135]

Hi I´m a bit atonished because in my country is growing up a very strange fashion, the regular people that make amps and sells them as custom with no knowledge and with any law that certificates that their amps are not dangerous for human use.
Well in my last 5 years life a lot of customers becomes to me asking for custom amplifiers. Well I think that this is a totally nonsense idea, almost you are Scott Henderson and you really need custom performances I think that there are so many amps on the actual market that could identify with you, so for that reason I think that nobody needs for the moment a mega-extra-custom made amp.
In my country there is a strange GAS-fever, everyone from the punkies to nu metals wants their own custom made amps, it seems that they read on music magazines that famous guitarrists have their owns tech and their own customs amps and they think that it is cool and you will be a bit more pro, totally wrong, as I ever said I see once a time John Petrucci playing with a dual caliber, dave fiziusky ( screamin headless torsos ) with a studio 22+ ( the same as mine ) and steve morse with a peavey bandit.
Anyway if you think that you need a custom amp so go on to a real tech and pay for a real custom model amp.
The trouble becomes when pirates dudes makes amp with any safety security that could kill a person. They don´t get so much money for them maybe 500 dollars and of course all poor boys go for that amps because they can´t pay a custom made bogner
I will post some links to photos of an amp that one pirate do for a friend of mine, I have no words about it

Well if you don't say what is your country,how do we know if we are in danger ? :wink: :wink: :wink:

Spain. But I think that custom made fashion is extended on some other countries

Man... that looks like some good spaghetti!

Oh wait... that's an amplifier?

I saw a hack job like this on ebay the other day... with 'custom' mods and of course he had to point out that the amp was worth so much because it was wired 'point to point'.

I think what he's trying to say is that this amp could be dangerous because it is wired/put together so poorly by somebody who doesn't know what the hell they are doing.

THIS is what the inside of an amp should look like:

yes the mojave seems to be a real point to point amp, but the photo links I attached seems to be a great piece of **** :lol: check the solders, they are like solders that could do my monkey

Hey those look like mine!

Yup that's what I was saying. It isn't just the soldering the wiring is REALLY bad too and it looks like the amp could easily short circuit from all of the exposed wire.

 

[fatboy135]

yes it could be a short circuit between neighbour components but the real trouble is that I don´t see the ground on that amp :shock: could anyone see it?

 

[ursinus]

eso se ve horrible!
:shock:

:shock: Thats totally crap workmanship, my blind grandma could've done a better job. Nothing is secured on there, with wires which potentially contain HT about 1cm away from the chassis. God knows what will happen if the user puts his hand on that and it gets knocked on... bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[fatboy135]

It must be labeled with the biohazard symbol :lol:
