I'm a new member so I'll apologize if this has already been addressed, but it's a question I haven't found much info on while searching the net.
I bought a very clean Bluesbreaker reissue about 5 years ago. The chassis ID reads Tremelo 50W. After a few years I took it to my friend Ben Fargen of Fargen Amps to hotrod it. This amp was the beginning of his Hot Mod upgrades. I did a bunch of research on the original Beano Bluesbreaker and wanted to try to copy it. I ordered a set of Gold Lion KT66's and kept the original preamp tubes. Ben upgraded to his Sozo caps, changed out the output transformer, rebiased, and tweaked the tone stack. It sounds amazing and breaks up at pretty low volumes, between 2 &3.
My buddy was so impressed he found a BB reissue to buy so he could have Ben do the same to his. When we opened his up, the chassis reads JTM45. I've been curious about the different markings since. Anyone have the 411 on this?
Thanks
