    Rocketbox info thread !!! Made in the USA with a reasonable pricetag !

    It will be cool to see what different spins our resident solder jockeys can put on this little guy ! If enough get built we will have to do a "show and tell" and see how well these boxes come together ! 73's 4-2-ZERO

    Rocketbox info thread !!! Made in the USA with a reasonable pricetag !

    Yup and I think its a good way for some of the more novice guys like myself to get a better understanding how the basic circuitry gets laid out and .. well .. amplified lol I like the fact that its not a total "build" per say more of a basic assembly ! As long as people take their time and...
