I already designed the chassis version. I'm working on panel options. I'll make head and combo versions, and give options for the rear panel depending on whether or not people want a footswitch and/or an FX loop. That's like 10 panel designs.
The outer dimensions are the same, but my placement of the cutouts is different. If you're concerned about cabinets, the mounting holes are also different, but the mounting holes are the only thing that would really change relative to the cab.lavrgs wrote: ↑Sat 08/22/20 1:20 pmJMP Is your chassis design anything like the mojotone blank 17"L x 6 1/2"W x 2 1/2"H? I believe this is the chassis for their 18w and also ASSume it is close to the original Marshall...I ask because I created CAD for it and would rather not make LxWxH changes

Doing well my friend! You won't regret.lavrgs wrote: ↑Tue 03/09/21 2:18 pmI'm back to thinking about this TMB Trem...
JMP are the chassis and faceplates available? What about your board? I'm gonna start collecting parts.
General plan is to use the trannies from my Mojotone and maybe a few other items.. new board, new chassis and built in a head cab

Well Josh,it looks like you want to make it so ANYBODY could build an ampI don't currently have a supplier for faceplates or chassis. I may wind up investing in a laser machine in the near future.
The boards are available on reverb.com: https://reverb.com/item/40259316-jmpgui ... v1-36-2021
Or you can PM me if you prefer to pay me directly, or if you're international. I'm busy on a work project today, so I might be slow to respond.
Thanks,
Josh
where do you find the small turrets to fit in those tiny holes...ok I'm done. lol! https://youtu.be/NQ-8IuUkJJc?t=75lavrgs wrote: ↑Wed 05/05/21 5:59 pmWell Josh,it looks like you want to make it so ANYBODY could build an amp
Do you have a FAQ page or should we just ask questions indiscriminately...do you have a BOM and suggestions for things like the pedal, are there any instructions? For Example I see the Ruby mod so I'd want to know if it's optional...basic stuff.
I haven't been on the site for a while so if it's been discussed I apologize for not doing a search first
Either way is fine, PM me if you want to get it directly.
I didn't get anything, shoot me an email instead. support at jmpguitars dot com

I am considering making a chassis, that I will call a composite; it would be constructed of machined side walls and use flat aluminum panels for front back and top. I think I've seen the original JTMs did this. Are there any big negatives? - maybe not practical for mass production but since this TMB board is on the larger size my plan to use a Mojotone chassis may have to be adjusted. What would be the ideal chassis size for the TMB Reverb? The "standard" chassis is 17 x 6.5 x 2.5
Here's mine:
How would you attach the pieces to each other? Angle aluminum? Or would you weld it together? I've been making chassis for hi-fi gear from rectangular aluminum extrusions. They're 1/8" thick, sized 10" X 2", 8" X 3", etc. I cut them to length, cut out the bottoms for working inside the chassis, then add front and rear panels that are anodized and engraved. It's a huge amount of time and work cutting all the pieces, and I probably won't continue this process when my current small inventory is used up.
My design started yesterday but when I get to a point that it's ready for review I'll post it. With a 19+ inch run I may need some center braces. The cosmetics will probably be some kind of engraved plastic - last time I sent it out and it was too expensive- since I am doing a retrofit on my mill I would like to see if I can make something. That's a ways out - later this summer. I'm at a point where I should sell an amp before I make any more but I like what I have. The Mojotone clone may be used as a donor for transformers or may be sell it.TriodeLuvr wrote: ↑Sat 06/05/21 4:14 pmHow would you attach the pieces to each other? Angle aluminum?

I think there are more off-the-shelf solutions for instrument amps than for hi-fi. And they're cheaper, too. A pre-made chassis for the type of gear I frequently build would cost upwards of $400 if the shop did everything (anodized and/or painted and engraved/silkscreened).
It's a never-ending problem.
