Congrats EaNot
Great looking build
Just finishing up a 100watt BM build
Really like the clean tones
Still have to get the tube loop working
Thanks for the schem
Like your addition of boost trim and extra tone stack trim shift for OD I may try them both

Question to Bluesmaster builders: how about Presence range? It working well in only two positions, left and right. As the Accent swicth in old Dumble styles. Although it would seem this is a normal regulator of the Marshall style.

If you increase your feedback (100k to 47k feedback R) or switch to another tap for feedback you will have more control over your presence knob (like most Marshall style PI/output stage).

Great build btw !

Combo has been used some time at gigs. Customer sent me the combo for checking and maintenance. And I photographed it.

Awesome little amp! Built a 2 x 6L6 Bluesmaster in a D'Lite chassis and thought that was a tight squeeze! Masterful bit of shoe-horning... :)

Very nice. BM is one of my favorites as well.
