I had the MM O100JM OT sitting around from some emporium buy and a 100w PT that "should work". It actually does work after I was made aware of the fact that the PT was only rated for 5.5A and I needed 6 just for the 4 El34s, so the build shifted to 5881's and off I went.
Everything is pretty straight forward and the documentation Jason provides is spot on and makes putting the amp together pain free for the most part. I do tend to create plenty of self-induced pain with my lack of knowledge / head first approach, but I didn't get zapped and nothing cooked.....well almost nothing
So with a wrong PT, a used OT with 3" leads and a 50w chassis that needed creative modding I sunk my 30 hours into the amp and have been loving the way it sounds. Really great cleans and some of the tightest, yet open and still musical gain I'v had in the garage in a while.
And thanks to all on this forum who constantly field my sometimes embarrassingly simple questions and do it over and over again...thank you!
I'll get a clip up ASAP.
