No, it's still a 4x12 with 2 speakers, but will compelte it once the holidays are here. Though i wouldn't dare to crank it unattuanated in the same room where i stand. Maybe if it was outside, or in an arena

I think, one day, probably in the summer, my neighbours will get a loud surpeize
Neil, so to you all sounds like it should with a jtm45/100? (Apart from ghosting, of course)
I'm very happy with the tone, just wondering if it sounds like a proper 45/100 should also to someone who has extensive experience with these amps (probably hard to tell from a recording (into a cab sim at that), but still - you've got an original and have built clones and repaired other peoples amps, etc.) I was worried til the last second that it might not sound "right", probably because i believed in some voodoo, which has been demystified to me by this clone.
At some point i will probably build the 100w JMP with NOS parts - just as authentic as this one, as there is simply no way i could get myself to sell them after all the time invested in the search (except to get cash for the purchase of an original) and i also don't see any sense in keeping them in a drawer.
But before that i plan a 50w build, probably a JTM-50/JMP-50 (ss/tube rectifier switch a la Club 40), with modern parts and as "economical" as possible, because ...

i want to build it myself, along with an AC30 or one of it's derivates... as you see, the amp bug doesn't have it's winter-sleep in Latvia yet.
I thought about getting a real 63/64 copper panel AC30 - they can be bought for about 800-1000 gbp sometimes, which means that one wouldn't spare much money by cloning one, if at all. The problem with originals is that it's value would decrease with each solder joint touched; if i'd want to change something on it, it would be a really tough decision - so this cloning deal really has some strong arguments, especially, if it is really possible to get those ellusive tones.
