Hello all
Been a little boring around here on the british side of the forum, so I went ahead and ordered a 2550 kit #1 from Nik and will try and document this build as best as I can since there is not alot of posts on this amp!

So far I have the 2550 pack#1 kit hopefully shipping this week.
Ordered OT and PT from Magnetic components

PT = Plexi45/50 watt  part# 40-18054

OT = Jcm 800/Jmp50   part# 40-18025

Choke = 10henry choke from Mercury Magnetics.

I have not purchased tubes yet and would like to hear any recommendations from current 2550/2555/2203/2204 owners if they are out there.

Will start posting pics and stuff once all parts arrive!

Still waiting to hear when it will ship!
Got the choke already and the OT & PT are in transit.
So Nik if your reading this, Hurry up and ship Grin

Thanks for posting those settings! I am a fan of JB!
I had never even heard of a dumble until I read his dual amp tone recipe on the JB forum, and his tone has inspired me to get the Jube as well!
If I had all the gear he had I still wouldnt sound like him though.

The only amp I could see myself needing after this is maybe a Yeti or Chupacabra so I can get the metal tone. I am hoping Nik makes them as kits in the future. He said maybe!
