JCM 800 Preamp on 18 Watt Poweramp

Post by kd »

This is something that several people have shown interest in over the years. Has anyone actually built one of these amps? If so, was it a keeper? Does anyone have a known good schematic or layout of this amp?

Thanks,
Ken

You can look in downloads at the 18watt plexi. In the cascade mode it is essentially like a JCM-800. With a couple resistor changes it can be the same as the 2204 preamp.

A few people have built this amp and seem to like it.

Does anyone have a layout of this amp? I am looking for a single channel model with one input and 3 12ax7 tubes. The same as a JCM 800 single channel but as an 18 watt.

Edit: I know the JCM 800 had two inputs, but I am interested in the high gain input.

The layout for the 18W Plexi is in the Downloads section.
