Paul: You'll have to put up a warning before opening those pics ,better put on your sunglasses..that amp shines so bright bout put my eyes out, looks like las vegas..lol great piece of work! Only thing out of place is the fender jewel..:) And your on off thingys are out of place..
Alot of people don't like the .1 in the driver...but from your testing..seems they work fine in this amp. Also see you useing different plate resistors..
Very neat and tidy. You build this for yourself?

Nice Job, gorgous amp! It must rattle the rafters. What transformers are those?

Purple fender style jewels are my first choice of indicator, too.

I like the side lighting. I've been considering something like it for a logo board in plexiglass on my amps, but I was thinking of using LEDs. Never thought to use indicator lamps like that.

Post pics when it's in a head. I want to see that for sure.

I just had one of the Lee jackson Ampegs in here, and it had the lit logo,and used 3 of the indicator type bulbs to light up the logo.
They used them on the old plexiglass B-15s years ago. You should be able to find a bigger chromed washer for the switches. I also like the purple,and green fender jewels..

That looks great, Paul! I'd like to see a picture of it in a cab with the lights on.

I'd have to dito every positive remark. It's beautiful! I've been thinking about a build with KT66 tubes. I hope you will have some sound files some time? Is this jtm45 amp the one that Clapton is credited for getting the woman tone from? I keep thinking thats what it must sound like :roll:

I have owned several Marshall's that were 50 watts. That's why I am buiding an 18 watt. That much power will shake the rafters no matter where you play them.

Good looking amp!!!!!!

Paul...

I am impressed with the face plate. What technique are you using on that one? Laser engraving?

Hey, I just noticed! For the switches, the panel says "down" in on, but the little switch-plate doodads say "up" is on.
