18 watt blues jr conversion

Post by wsaraceni »

looking for info on 18 watt blues jr conversions. would like to reuse the transformers and chassis at a minimum. i am thinking maybe just a single channel TMB with powerscaling? reverb maybe? solid state rectified. does something like that exist

I've done two 18watt TMB conversions on blues jrs. They came out great. I put a Mercury Magnetics OT in my personal one and really like it .

thanks. do you have a schematic that you went off of? did you do 1 or 2 channels? the one that you didnt use a MM output, did you retain the stock output xformer? how did it sound. got any pictures?

thanks

Is there a thread on that? I'd really like to see what you did.

Cheers
