JTM45 build...looking to buy this, can I get your opinions?

[gkelm]

Hey Guys...I'm not a builder but hang out here for some of the great knowledge and cool amps for sale.

Looking at this JTM45 build...
http://s510.photobucket.com/user/bogner ... t=3&page=1

Has external bias points and bias adjuster. Merren output and MM PT. Not sure I completely understand the 8/6.6k tap switch, but supposedly it allows for more clean headroom. Seller says it can run KT66, EL34, and 6V6.

Your thoughts?

Any help appreciated!

Nice!

JTM45 is a great amp.

That one certainly looks good. The proof-of-the-pudding is playing through it though.

[M Fowler]

That looks like a very clean amp.

[gkelm]

Thanks guys...it's $850 with headshell and no tubes. Seems fairly reasonable.

[Reeltarded]

Tubes. Hah.

If you don't buy it send me the link.

[Blackburn]

Don't give Reel the link to that amp! He's the reaper to tube rectifiers!

[Reeltarded]

Funny though just looking at dual 5u4GBs in next amp.

[Blackburn]

Is it going to be UL too??

[gkelm]

Anybody else, thoughts?

High end transformers, mustard caps, headshell, nice neat build, the guys gotta have every bit of the 850$ in it, as long as you can test drive and you like it, i don't know how you could lose, if i was shopping hell ya id buy it. mark

[gkelm]

Thanks Mark...only problem is it's an online deal, so no test drive available. Contemplating a roll of the dice!

Looks worth taking a chance on Greg.
Even if it doesn't sound to your liking when you get it.
There's enough Marshall expertise on here to get you what you want.
I'd go for it.
