Sunn S100 build
I bought a Weber S100 chassis and cabinet.
The PT is 100w PT100 Marshall style
OT is 150w unit from Jana a few years back.
Made my own boards and just about finished wiring this beast up.

Re: Sunn S100 build
Your not using a choke like in the original?
Nice work by the way!

When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!
Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Re: Sunn S100 build
Steven thanks,
Yes I am using a choke but haven't got around to bolting it in yet, which by the way, was an oversite on my part.
I realized last night as I looked over the photos, I said,where the hell is my choke and how am I going to bolt that sucker in now.

Re: Sunn S100 build
Today I wired up some more.
Just have the power tube wiring, bias test jack wiring and the two bias pots need to be wired.

Re: Sunn S100 build
Mountain indeed yes!
But the key thing with West killer sound back then was that he ( and Felix) got handed off Hendrix's Sun gear when he switched to Marshalls.
Anyway long story short West was playing thru a Sunn 200 watt RMS pa head which had more far more gain due to the Hi Z Mics of the era they where designed to work with.
Is your build using the same S100 PI section / tube?
