2nd build JTM45 / BB cab

JoeM · Post by **JoeM** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:06 pm

Hey guys.
I started my second build recently. Any comments, suggestions, ideas, are all welcome especially if you see a mistake!

I got the chassis and faceplates from George, transformers are Heyboer Metro spec and a Mercury choke. Most of the components came from Valvestorm. My Sozo vintage caps are on the way, and the turret board and fuse holder came from Brian H. Tubes from Dougs Tubes and a few odds and ends from Mojo and Amplified parts. Oh and a Bluesbreaker cab from Jeff Swanson should be here in a few weeks.

I decided to connect my wires on top of the turret board for easier troubleshooting just in case i run into a problems...

Yes I thought that - seems to be missing the trem board and tube

Yeah i guess i should have called the thread JTM45 Combo instead! Had the Blues breaker cab on my mind when i made the first post. I never intended to put the trem circuit in
