if I were to do anything different .... it might have been white faceplates instead of gold .... but I think the gold looks OK .... and kind of shows it's a Marshall of some type .... IMO anyway

yes exactly what I read ...... so you're not " taxing " the power transformer ..... there's also strong opinions out there to treat them as 30 watts each ... there isn't a lot of difference in settings between the two ... so I just aimed in the middle ...

It's got more gain ..... it's a lot tighter due to some of the mods to the circuit .... no flub .... with a Superdrive or a Chiron in front of it you can get pretty close to some modern tones with it but as a old school metal amp this thing just friggin slays

my experience with doing pedals has definitely made it easier for me to build an amp .... from soldering skills ... schematics ... grounding schemes .. etc I've been considering doing some PCB's for amps .... but I really love the turret boards ... some amp companies mix the two which I think...

yes ..... it's built to exact specs according to Headfirst's modified 800 schematic which Jason says is the 800 channel of the JEL it has a 4n7 cap and a 220K coming off the 4 Ohm tap going back to the amp I also have a Ceriatone 2204 running EL34's ...... they both sound great ..... but the...

according to everything I've read ...... the 6550's when in a " 50 watt " amp like in a 2204 ..... should be treated as 25 watts each when biasing ... because that's what the transformer is designed for ....

two of them actually ...... I just upgraded ..... I'll be able to cut 3/4 Birch in one pass with the new one ... dovetail joint headshells will be a shit ton easier now ....

Built myself a Friedman JEL 50 ( JCM800 channel only ) in a small box format just like the USA 800's back in the day ..... this one is running 6550's ( Sovtek ) all Sozo Mustards .... Vishay Beyschlag Metal films .... also added DC Heaters for the first two pre amp tubes ( used one of...

does it get any more metal than that ??

exactly why I pulled my reverb Store ..... it was more work trying to not get scammed than it was to try to sell something ... the icing was when the fees seemed to keep going up ...

it's not the 5 for the schematic ...... it's the time ..... that thing would soak up some serious time I think ... and my free time is almost non existent ... and it did sound really .. really good though ... no doubt

and it's gone .... have to do another one of these enclosures ..

I've built load boxes before ..... I have a few I use for testing amps on my bench ... but this thing is quite a mashup of different things ... maybe I'll spend the dough on his schematic .... but I usually only will drop money into something I know won't take a bunch of trial and error...

video please ..............

going to check it out right now
