Title: Greetings Post by: Hanwell on May 10, 2008, 04:53:54 PM Greetings everyone,
I'm a noob here and just ordered my JTM45 head yesterday form Nik and am excited to have finally taken the plunge. I've played an old 2150 Marshall 100W 1X12 combo, reissue Vibroverb and various Fenders for forever it seems and want to try out the classic JTM circuit. Looking for that midrangy, honkin' tone similar to the Beano, and others... Cheers! Chuck Title: Re: Greetings Post by: Hanwell on May 22, 2008, 06:50:41 PM Hi again,
I received my JTM45 from Nik exactly one week from when I ordered it! I can't compliment him and Ceriatone enough. He has always been super fast responding to my e-mails, answering my incredibly simple questions and his general patience is amazing! ;D Here's a link to a YouTube video I uploaded a couple days ago. Its not perfect, playing-wise, but the tone is just great! To me, anyway.... ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD4Pu1MnC5M Chuck Title: Re: Greetings Post by: 72sg on June 01, 2008, 05:35:45 AM A week? ONE WEEK!!! WTF! Why did mine take FIVE WEEKS?
Okay ... mine is a Bluesbreaker, which might account for some of the difference. But still. Anyway, congrats on getting a killer amp. I'm still working through all the capabilities, but after a couple months I'm still freaked at how fine it sounds. And you made the right call going with the plain JTM45. The trem on the Bluesbreaker is useless. It just adds to the weight and chassis size (and slightly the cost) and it doesn't work. Go figure?

Go figure? ohhh. i got the bluesbreaker too, take a while too. but it was worth the tone :) but for the tremolo,.... i also can'T get it to work.. tryed contact nik but it seem that if i bias low it should work.. wich i did multiple time and didnt make it to work. swapped the 12ax7 in it too but still same result. if there was atleast a topic on a forum or anything for troubleshoot them could be helpfull lol.

Go figure? I built the 18 watt trem version for my first build, the trem worked but I didn't like it and swapped out the board for a TMB EF86. Didn't like that much either so I sold it but yeah, the trem was very ordinary. The JTM-45 is a fantastic amp I reckon. |
