Turning a old Laney into a JJ 100

[peterc52]

I’m at the beginning of turning this old Klipp with Partridge transformers into a JJ. I kinda dug my old JJ back in 2014 I bought og SteveK. And wanted to give it a try.

I bought a lot of parts fra ceriatone. Just because. Easy.

Not doing the clean channel. Only the drive.

I have depth, presence and normal EQ on front with drive and master. And have 3 switches. 1 3-way and 2 2-way. The 3-way will be switching between MSP06 and maybe 18 volt zeners. Not sure about the other 2 yet.

Any guidance are appreciated. I wired up the heaters today.

Should I re-use the mustard caps? Or are they too old?

Any mods are welcome. And/or use for 2 2-way switches

I have not wired up the 4th preamp tube. Not sure what to use it for.

Well don’t touch the power or standby switch with your fingers…. Inside the chassis….

Electrocuted on may 23rd and still have a shiny spot where new skin has grown back and a little scab still. Odd… I guess it burned inside out. That’ll wake you up in the morning……

The Friedman JJ100 is one of my favorite Friedman amps, they sound killer. I seen AIC back in 2014 with his JJ100's and the tone was every bit as good as the Snorkler!

I’m exchanging the caps to the old mustard caps
