The dissipation and drain are a lot lower on that mosfet Bieworm @ 75W & 4.5 amp,suitable for just the screen voltage but are you going to be the guinea pig that tries it out?
Naahh.. I'm going to build one myself. I found a 800V 5A N channel mosfet that look more interesting..

Only problem is a well priced pot. The max wattage for a good price over here are 0.5W cts pots.. is that ok?

The schematic shows 1/2W which are rated at 500VDC so that will be okay, “build one yourself” as in the VoCo screen voltage?

Okay Bieworm then the mosfet has to be close to the type & specs I posted earlier,notice the 1M pot is linear as well.

Do you reckon the 800V 5A 140W mosfet isn't sufficient?

The others are at least 8amp,plus you have to check the gate,drain & source are the same configuration.i used a 2SK2698 which was 500V,15amp,150W by default”I got the 69 wrong should have been 96 when ordering” it works but i’m going to change to a 900V 8Amp when I build the new chassis for the 6V6 amp.
here's the spec sheet for the NTE2377

Hey Geoff.. I'm a novice to mosfets. But this one seems to be able do pull it off?

Not sure Bieworm,i’m no expert on mosfets myself,I stayed close to the NTE2377 specs when I got mine i.e. TO-3P type

Josh, is the extra triode from the tremolo TMB going to make a big difference compared to the SL TMB? I mean, is the SL TMB going to sound fat enough?

How fat it sounds depends on your build. Use the latest docs, the latest docs are the best.

Here's a couple I made in the past (18 and 36W versions):

Well, that doesn't lack fatness 😄
Do you happen to have a layout for the 18W SL TMB reverb?

No, I never did the latest version with the reverb. But you can just compare my two layouts (Trem TMB vs SL TMB), the main difference is the preamp. They're both similar anyway.

I will eventually be making a layout for it when I do a PCB version of it, but I dunno when that will happen. Probably not until I sell more of the TremTMBR PCBs.

Thanks,
Josh

I will make a layout based upon both types

The power scaling on the Marshall origin amp adjusts the screen voltage like that VoCo Bieworm except it has a 3 way switch instead of a potentiometer,definitely worth looking into that & experimenting.
