"""Transformers are not made by Dagnall and I wouldn´t be surprised to see transformers in the new RI-models coming from Taiwan and if they have the quality as in they have had in the JCM900 series, it would be a larger investiton as some people might expect in the moment. """
Ingo... yes the transformers are Dagnall in the RI 18..but thats what they use in some of the other amps..with the plastic insides or made the same.... but these were supposed to be redesigned to 18 watt specs..
JA.. I think your missing the point,or what we were getting at.
""So far, you've all been wrong on the price"""
I was never wrong on the price,cause i never guessed..
Yes the amp is fine..made well etc..the moving of the parts they did..no big deal..
But if you have followed the Re-issiue stuff for years,you'll see none have been like the originals. A re-issiue amp,should be the same as what they are copying it from.. Now they go to calling them HW,hand wired..
Well they shouldhave been when they came out as re-issiues !.. Still rule out all those things..i'm still glad to see them building these amps and others.Its a start. I've always been a big marshall amp fan..One of the biggest.
But if you say, well if you don't like the board change it..trannys whatever.. whats the point.. if you just bought an amp thats supposed to be marshalls clone of an original Marshall 18..
Thats what happened to the re-issiues of the past..
I'm sure this amp will be fine.. After working on many of the re-issiue amps..fenders marshall vox.. they are not the amps inside,of what they are representing..
Now they are getting better..handwired..and even some of those in the fender line..are not all that grand..But all this is just my opinion.
At least this amp has the board,and everything looks pretty good.I wonder of the dagnall trannys..
