From what I understand, it's very close to a Marshall 2204.

I couldn't tell you what it's based on. I played it, liked it and bought it.

I found a few looking at google images when I was searching a few weeks ago - here is one:

I hate to say it, but for what they charge for their amps, I'm not very impressed. Its built onto a protoboard! And the speaker wire looks like its so short that the 1/4" jack is torqued... I could go on and on, but you guys know the deal.

look into marshall mod's they are basically just heavily modified marshall circuits. some modifications for clean others for over the top distortion. the tube rectifier and choice in tubes and iron play a big roll in the tone. The amps run very HOT!!! as far as blending a JCM or JMP they are seperate channels not blended. they have more low end then a typical marshall the .063 cap that rolls off the low end is replaced with a traditional fender value .05 or .1
Add a fender power section for 6V6 the typical marshall for EL34 / 6550 or Vox for EL84
It's all pretty straight forward.

Thanks I am going to go to a guitar shop have freind works there, I am going to pull apart the Divided AMW39.

I will try to get some realy close detailed pics let me know if anyone is interested I could e-mail to you.

I have been trying to get close ups of a LDW or amw 39 for a long time.
So I will try my best. Might be a nice circuit to play with : )

I will try my best.

I got blasted on TGP WOW I had no idea people were so crazy about this amp. One guy in a private message cursed me out for asking for a pic.

It was like top secret dumble stuff. OMG I did not want to offend anyone but people blew up.

I was so sorry.

But for $3,500.00 thats a bit high. I do not plan on selling this guys amp.
I am just an amateur wanting to learn from that circuit.

Thanks so much guys.

I know I always have a home on TAG. TGP is unreal, people went crazy.

I dont know what the big stink is....

I will try hard to get some pics of the LDW or the other.

I will not give up.

Thanks so much my friends.

:D

I have a '77 Marshall 2204 that had been modded to a 2203 preamp before I bought it.

If that's the Divided by 13 mojo, it's pretty straightforward and has been in the public domain for 40 odd years!

I can attest that if you put Mullard tubes in it and run it thru four old G12Ms it sounds F***ing Awesome!

Huh? They used exactly the same preamp.

Whoops, nevermind...in '77 the 2204 still used a 2 stage preamp.
