Its an article about someone making their own Mesa DR it was pretty informative. Its in german, but i ran it through google translator and it seemed pretty decent.

hope someone finds this useful!
Mmmm...Don't know why, but it seems I got error and can't connect to that page...Try again tomorrow...
Should be interesting!
Love it. Great pics and great end result.
One of my goals with this hobby is to make a tube amp. Long way off but this is great inspiration, and buying an old amp off ebay for parts had never crossed my mind.
oh your god....
that so cool

looked pretty cool but I couldn't find the schematics or pcb layouts to have a really close look.
Any ideas?

well im glad people are interested!
id love to make a dual rectifier but i dont have the knowledge, experience or time required! hope someone here does it though, would be great to see!
recto is in the essence a clone of SLO and there's a SLO clone forum dedicated to cloning this amp with well documented and road tested layouts. I recommend trying that. It's a three channel amp with two channels footswitchable and sounds great (just built one).
Cheers
I'll have to check that forum out. My goal is a multi-channel footswitchable tube amp, as I currently love my old multi-channel Laney only it's SS so I'd like to mess with tubes.
Ouch!!! Not for the fisrt-time builder!!! :P
First step will be to try the P1-ex or maybe the High Octane, at AX84 web site!!!
I like the DIY LDRs he made for channel switching. When I built my SLO clone I used relays.
It's nice seeing that circuit built with turret board - I'd wager it sounds better than the Mesa original. :icon_razz:
He did a really good job with the chassis and cabinet as well!

+1 on the SLO clone forum. I built one of those & it's a great amp. I rarely play any of my other amps since building this one. ;)

Red, chassis should be red.

that looks great. if you went to sell that commercially, a lot of people would be interested.
Very detailed project /site is in polish/ + pictures + PCBs /scroll down/ for the 2 channel DR:
