Without any other colours on me, I decided to go black on black (I'm calling it The Midnight Crack).įor the wood stain, I went with Feast Watson's Black Japan Stain and Varnish. I started with staining the wood and painting the chassis. But on the Bottlehead Crack, they are OTL Tubes which changes the sound output (for the better). These tubes are to increase and power the audio signal. An amplifier is used to boost the volume when this occurs. Some audio equipment had a high impedance, making them sound and quiet when the volume is maxed out. I waited until Black Friday to grab it from their website for 15% off.Ī quick write-up of what this is and why I got it: The Bottlehead Crack is a high-end amplifier for your headphones.
I bought the Crack (and its Speedball upgrade) after I got my hands on a pair of Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones.
This is a quick build log of Bottlehead Crack OTL tube amplifier with some pictures and little stories.
