For the uninitiated, the Gaincard is a simplistic amplifier produced

Gaincard and now *hundreds* of people worldwide are building Gaincard
clones or modifications thereof, referred to as Gainclones.

I have now read a few reviews of these amps and, for the most part, it
seems reviewers have *transandental* experiences with them.

Comments..?

Have you a link to any information ?

Dear Paul and Dave,

The first bit is for you Paul and the second for Dave I do hope you don't
mind me combining the replies.

I agree with your comments about the Gaincard reviews they are over the top
:-)

Since the amp costs very little to make and you can make a Shigaraki clone
using a single cheap transformer, as 47 Labs do, why not make one yourself,
try it and report here on your findings.

A sensible review from someone with an impeccable sound engineering
background who is also an audio enthusiast can be found here;

Typing Gaincard and Gainclone into Google will return heaps of reviews,
information and links to friendly forums and helpful builders.
