*New Amp Day* I Built a JTM45 w/ Some NOS Goodies

[Larry]

Hey Guys,

Thought I'd share a few pictures of my latest build

It is a clone of a JTM45 I used:

Mercury Magnetics PT, OT, Choke
NOS Allen Bradley Carbon Comp Resistors in Signal Path
NOS Mustard Capacitors
NOS GE 12AX7 in the preamp
F&T Capacitors
Imported Pink Wire from the UK for the Tone Hookup (classy right )
Reproduction Turret Board and Fuse Holder
Star Grounding

It really sounds great, I'm really pleased with how well the Axis plays with it. The Axis pickups really push the front end nicely. I find myself keeping the volume on the Axis around 6 or 7 and then winding it up for solos/lead stuff.

Clips to come!

Holy Hannah! That is some beautiful work there. Damn! Didn't know you had those skills - very impressive. Looking very forward to hearing some clips.

Nice work Larry! As a electronics tinkerer, I have to say that is some clean wire work. Very professional!

 

[acwild]

Electronics are just a hobby of mine.

Just lots of patience and a good pair of forceps.

 

[Warg Master]

How about some sound bytes?

 

[dibart77]

Wow. I am impressed. This is really cool! However, just like when folks post about a new guitar (where we say "without pics, it doesn't exist"), in this case, it's "without sound clips it doesn't power up!" Let us hear this bad boy!

Great job Larry! Looking forward to some clips as well. Bet it rocks hard with the Axis.
