I do want to build a 45 in the future for the knowledge but have not compared it to the 45/100.
  Was trying to give you an idea about the great tone and quailty of the45/100 in my first post.
 I researched Niks 45/100 before I ordered it and knew it was what i wanted. As I said in the first post the 45/100 with the mods Nik put in is perfect for me.This is my dream amp!My search for my perfect amp is over.
  I'm more than satisfied...

I actually already have 3 amps from Nik.

The JTM45, DC30 and 18TMB.

I've visited Nik before, exceptional guy and his staff are v friendly and helpful.
His builds are reliable and very well done. I couldn't be happier with the amps from him.

I wouldn't consider anyone else to get amps from because he provides so much value for the money.

But his website has so many great sounding amps its difficult to choose, an easy solution would be to buy everything, but as with everything, $$$... lol.

seeker -
Sounds like you are all set.  If you start to feel like it bothers you, or maybe it is getting worse, you can make a change.  You might get a lot of relief from just replacing the first filter cap after the rectifier.  Sometimes it does not take a whole lot.
Good Luck Smiley

Hi Cam!

Welcome!

Sure thing, hope you hear from seeker, and if any questions (tech, etc), do email me.

Chip  Smiley,

The plate voltage is abt 470-490V.

Originals did go higher.

But I wont subject my clients to using NOS tubes only (GEC KT66s wow these are crazy pricy now!).

So we lower it a bit.

I am not sure what JJ KT66s, or other new brands can take. Anyone know if those can go higher, voltage wise?

I like the Shuguangs though but will try those Gold Lions (sovtek) soon, see how those sound like.


Thanks!

Nik

 Well, unfortunately i don't know how to post a soundclip. Can someone help? I appreciate it.
  Hopefully this falls under "there is no such thing as a dumb question".

Hi seeker

I think it usually needs to be hosted somewhere?

How big is the file?

Maybe if OK, you can email to me, and I can upload to my website, and then will link from here for people to see.

Thanks!

Well it's been over two years and wanted to say that this amp is still going strong, no problems. and when my cab speakers finally got broken in, it really shined!Th PPMV lets me play it in the smallest of venues and when I can crank it, it kills! If you want to hear it in action check my Bands youtube page.
Rannons' Call..Thanks again Nik!!
