Title: JTM45 - Good Choice For First Build? Post by: AdrianJ on June 16, 2008, 08:32:58 AM So I'm soon to place an order for a kit to have a go at building my first amp.
Is the JTM45 kit a good choice for a first build? I've never built an amp before, but have basic electronics understanding and am competant with a soldering iron. I understand that Nik's kit don't come with building instructions, is there an online resource with any guides to building the JTM45? Also, just so I can be sure I have all the right tools, and since my old ones are getting close to needing replacing.... Could someone please list what tools I'll need to build the JTM45... Thanks Title: Re: JTM45 - Good Choice For First Build? Post by: AdrianJ on June 17, 2008, 01:04:50 PM Okay, so I found the instructions over at Metropoulis Amps for assembling their JTM45 kit. Will these be the same as for Nik's?

some may like 18 or 36 watt. i think these are easier am not sure, and they are less loud. the metroamp instruction are a good guide these wont be exactly same, you still need to follow nik's layout, but the instruction may help alot. |
