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):

Thanks,

Well, that doesn't lack fatness πŸ˜„
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

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.
