Title: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on July 29, 2011, 07:51:08 PM Not a kit from Nik... just chassis, faceplate and empty board came from Nik
Had to improvise a little,... cause I couldn't get those special caps Nik gets from somewhere... I think it turned out quite well...

Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on July 30, 2011, 07:11:46 AM I finished this amp yesterday, so no clips yet but I will make some.

Which caps are you talking about? Fun building a Marshall after having built OTS eh? A little more elbow room Todd Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on July 30, 2011, 06:19:14 PM I couldn't get a 50/50 axial type filter cap... so I just went with another 50/50 Can type JJ cap.
I thought building this amp would be a piece of cake but you know with populating the board and soldering the wire leads... it took some effort after all. Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on September 01, 2011, 03:14:31 PM Here you go a short clip...

One of these days I may have to build that model myself! Todd Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: SoundPerf on September 01, 2011, 05:54:58 PM Ahhh, sounds good. Liked the little "money for nothing" riff.
What speaker(s) are you playing through? Also those trafos are super polished. Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on September 01, 2011, 08:48:24 PM Thanks,
yes, amp sounds awesome indeed. Speaker in this clip is Celestion G12-65... Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: plasticvonaband on September 01, 2011, 10:53:06 PM Nice build and awesome playing!
Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on September 02, 2011, 05:41:24 AM BTW...
This amp was built for this ampfest we are organizing here locally... and this amp is a main prize. The guy or girl who will win it, will have to play one of those riffs, just to prove that he/she deserves it. ;D Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: pepper on January 21, 2012, 02:36:00 PM Very nice build,great sound as well. Its funny how little components it appears to have on the board for such a great sounding amp.
Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on January 23, 2012, 09:57:25 PM At the end this amp found a box to live in...
(http://users.volja.net/mcinku/JCM800/JCM800_14.JPG) ...and the new owner is ecstatic about it. ;D Title: Re: Just finished building JCM800... Post by: mcinku on February 17, 2014, 01:05:49 PM It's been a while since I've been here.
So just to reuse this thread... I've built another JCM800 and this time it has a buffered tube driven loop as well... |
