This might be the wrong section to post in but it is vintage Marshall related.
I about vintage Marshall sound and the builds have Original Marshall vintage knobs on them and they are compleately build up by vintage parts.
I have finally started to build some designs of my own in the search for the tone at lower volumes and in more compact format. I have started out doing three different amps with different preamps and power amps. Of cause I have been inspired by the original Marshall designs and I have took many ideas from various posts on forums on the net. I do this for the fun only for my personal mental satisfaction
I just happped to have three old avantic beam hifi chassis that I got in an estate sale some years ago together with a lot of slathered Marshall amps. (Actually one chassis I bought on eBay since I was missing a knob for one of my really one jtms and they are the same on the spa, good to know! Copper ring knobs, I have four extra know!!!)
The mini beasts I am building are
1. jtm45 inspired with rectifier and el84 push pull (real choke) normal and bright Chanel that can be switched on in parallel, master volume, fixed bias, Erie resistors mustard green 50s caps
2. Late 60 plexi, ss rectifier, one Chanel, 6v6 single ended power section, master, NFB cathode bias, choke, mustard caps
3. Hotrodded marshall/trainwreck wannabe with two push pull el84, choke, ss one channel, tube rectifier, mustard, phier resistors
AND a big thanks to Danfrank for all help with questions on transformers!!! Dan the transformer man!
