Build Report: Cinnamon Ruby

[lchyi]

Nothing really spicy about it, just my Ruby amp in a Cinnamon can. Finished it last night. On this build, I actually CAREFULLY laid everything out before I drilled it into oblivion. Before that I thought I could drill anywhere and things would work out, I blew a 125BB enclosure on this thing and didn't want to spend $$ on another one so I just "borrowed" an empty Altoid can from my girlfriend. She's very generous indeed:




The gain on it isn't as impressive as it sounded on Dano's site. I think it could have something to do with the cab he was running through or the cab I was running it through (Tech21 Power Engine 60). I did however, run a TS808 in front and with everything dimed, it sounded fine. If I can, I'll get some clips up, however, I'm not to proud of my playing, and besides, ya'll know what a ruby sounds like anyway... pure solid state meatiness. I'm thinking of slaughtering an old Kyocera 7135 belt clip for this thing, a clip on amp to my belt buckle would be sweet. Kind of like that little Marshall Jack Black carried around in School of Rock.

Oh yea, shoutout to JD Sleep for the Ruby board. I really didn't want to go out and buy FeCl and a hacksaw to make this thing.

That is an awesome build! Very nice how you fit everything neatly into such small place.

Regarding gain, I was using humbuckers for my clip, that may have made a difference.

Finally, one of my best friends believes in zombies. So I built him a ruby amp too:

Pardon my ignorance, but how did you label it like that?
