    So while I'm waiting for my Dargie Delight II... (Amp Build)

    Why not build a amp?

    Hope this is alright BP, if not let me know and it will disappear

    Metro Amp JTM-45 Kit heading my way. I'll be updating this thread as I progress through the build pending BP's approval of course. Anyone else out there ever build their own amp? I think this will sound killer with the new Dargie II

    Here is the link to the kit:

    Metroamp Parts Store

    I opted for the Sozo mustard capacitors for a more vintage vibe and will be ordering a set of tubes for it from Eurotubes


    I plan on building a head cabinet for it, I'm leaning towards a oak cabinet with a nice satin varnish finish.

    Stay tuned

    I haven't built it myself. I let a friend to do it for me
    That's a great amp if you like the marshall type of sound. I know, I have one from George

    Mine has Sozo caps and George's transformers. Eurotubes are great guys but I would recommend you to try Valve Art KT66's first from George.

    Feel free to pm me if you have any questions concernig the amp

    Awesome!

    I have always had high gain amps. Mesas, Oranges, newer style Marshalls, ect. What I'm starting to discover is I really enjoy using a clean amp. It makes you focus on your technique and style.

    Though all the clips I've heard the JTM-45 can still howl

    I had Diezel and Mesa but they were too hi-fi IMO so I turned my eyes on the classic

    JTM can howl for sure I'm using Weber MiniMass to tame the beast

    I think I may need to pick one of those up or the neighbors might complain

    I'm debating between the Mini Mass or just spending the few extra bucks to get the regular Mass.

    I don't know if I'd use the extra controls on the regular one.

    Think I might do the same seeing as it is almost a $100 price difference.
