Will this sound dfferent from the clean channel cranked?Great looking amp OP.I use my jtm-30 a good bit.I love the clean channel with a old sd-1.btw Ed, you can bypass the diode circuit on these. Andy Brauer mentioned it in an old VG article.
I bypassed my JTM60. You do have to crank it some, to get into tube distortion.

Nope. I did one of the heat fixes recommended for this amp and I've had no trouble at all. I know many suggest installing a fan but the fix I did is much easier. I got a four-inch by 12 inch sheet of aluminum diamond plate and slipped it between the tubes and the chassis using double back tape to mount it. It reflects the heat from the power tubes and also acts as a heat sink keeping the heat from damaging the PCBoard. And the other quickfix I needed to do was to keep a jumper in the effects loop at all times, since doing that I've gigged hours with the amp with no trouble.
