New 2204'ish Build

[Jerry2013]

Sweet! Mad Skilz! Lets hear how you like the Mojo Dijons.

Someone put Orange Drops in my 2204, and it makes it very early 70's Superleadish' with very nice low distortion cleans , but I think it remains too high fi and too bright with those... so I want to have either Sozos or or Mojos put in for a more traditional JCM Grind and less spikey highs.

Those Dijons are polypropylene like Orange Drop 715s, which I don't like either. I found that out after I bought a bunch, they're on the shelf for now. I would also like to here some feedback on them.

Ok here is Faceplate-3.
Tiger Maple. May try a Plexi style Faceplate also, but I like the Maple.
Now the lettering?

That's gorgeous! Love the maple faceplate.

I am going to keep the dijon's in the amp for a while and see what happens
over time. I need to find a 2204 to use for comparison. I have a 1987 50 watt and a studio 15 but they would not be a good tone source for comparison. I think that would be the best way to judge the sound of this amp.

A bit closer to being done. Lettering on faceplate and logo made.

[Bob S]

That looks absolutely stunning Jeff.
You've got skills my friend.
Wish I had your woodworking experience.
Fantastic.

[sepulchre]

Very, Very Sharp!

[gktamps]

That's really, really pretty!
I like the typeface, particularly now that I see it matches the logo.
Lovely.

Ok, Front and back panels are finished.
Marshall style knobs added, (sounds better already)
Now to sit back and listen to it and decide what I like and don't like and tweak it.
Ok decided to try dying the light color handle after talking to gktamps.
Used stewmac color tone tint, seems to have worked well and looks better to me. Thanks Greg.

Only problem now is that you need a speaker cab to go with it. Shame to put that on top of a boring regular tolex cabinet

Oh crap No sleep till at least after the new year now...
What the %$#* was I thinking?????

[Blackburn]

That's a great looking amp!

[cbass]

Very nice looking cab and amp

[gktamps]

The darker handle doesn't distract from the beautiful cab like a light colored one seems to IMO.

So, how are you enjoying the build? Have you felt the need for any tweaking?

[M Fowler]

I don't like it, tear it all apart and start over.

Actually that is a great looking amp Jeff.
