Likely story Steve.

. Seriously it's not top secret or anything. It's actually just built in one of my old stainless chassis, not a clone. It spent the last 6-7 years or so as a testbed for many many circuits. Jerry's amp was prototyped in there, but just handwired on perfboard as I always do to test out potential layouts/circuits. It's far from a work of art inside and was originally meant to be kind of a loaner/test amp until I modded his actual amp for him. Was never meant for show or sale, but Jerry liked it so much I just "roadworthyized" the old beast inside a bit, converted it to 50 watts, made new faceplates, and otherwise left things be.

And it weighs about 600lbs.....

Good, should make the 4x12 cab feel lighter loading out after the gig.

Steve, do you do your own or do you have to farm them out? I'm getting a little miffed at the jackass that is supposed to be making my JTM100 Super PA faceplate/backplate after five months..........I do get lotsa excuses though.

I draw them up in CAD, but always farm them out for the final pieces. I do make my own on prototypes rarely, but it's a royal pain in the ass to make even one, and they aren't nearly as pro quality as the the farmed ones. It's been a while since I had any made up, but I used to use a place in Ann Arbor (will have to look up the name). 5 months is just rediculous, I used to get them in a few days, even on small orders or one offs.

The suspense is killin' me, I can't wait to hear the final Jam track........
