also do you have any 2x12 cabs that match any of the head cabs?
I really like the blonde but who doesnt like blondes!

Who builds these cabs?
If it is you will you be building more and if so can you do 1 with c-lator cutout as well?
I am interested but will have to wait til payday to pull trigger!
Thanks
Todd

Man that is awesome,
You probably know alot more about that amp now than if you did not have those problems.
I always learn more troubleshooting than just building
Hey Soundperf you get your part from Malaysia yet?
Im still waiting on my chickenhead knobs, they shipped on 3-11 regular postage. Just wondering if they will come anytime soon.

its actually vertical though in real life
stupid iphone

yeah its starting to sound better already I think they call that dog ears or somethin
 heres a crappy pic of my crappy TEMPORARY cab

Also I will start a new post regarding the amp problems im having with my JSX in near future if need be
sorry to divert from the main subject!
Todd

I predict Soundperf will be playing his OTS tonight
Thanks for the good mention BTW.
I see Sduck was on right track as well.

Thanks again to all
Pickmaster, love the setup. I should know this from all the other posts of yours ive read but are both OTS original ( no mods ) if not which mods on each?

the 3rd 12AX7 is the PI, or Phase Inverter tube.

there are 4 12ax7's, 1 sits byself right next to power tubes ( PI I think )
the other 3 are offset behind xfrmr ( 2 are preamp tubes )
the last one I still dont know what it does.
I havent spent much time yet trying to figure it out cause I have this brand new OTS that wants to be played
This coming weekend I will dig into this amp.
Ive never even removed chassis to look inside so it should be fun

Well I found this while browsing and thought of this post. Not exactly John Mayer but the tone is evident and atleast hes tryin to play the song that started this thread.


I still think almost every vid on this post has already proven the point
Ceriatone amps are high quality

it was physically broken
at the top of tube where it is normally metallic it was powdery white.
I think when I put it in I was pressing a little too hard.
I dont know as much about the JSX amp as I should.
Do you know what the other 3 12ax7s are then I assume 2 of them are preamp tubes leaving 1 unknown.
Either way I replaced the cracked tube and now the amp makes horrible loud sound on startup. I immediatley powered back down.
Hope the cracked tube didnt blow somethin else

Sorry I think I meant primaries
I will try to find thread
I remember whoever wrote the thread said that about half of theOTS builds experienced no output on startup because the OT wires were backwards
As far as the loud Hum that could be something else.

I replaced it with the same (12ax7)one that that was there for the last 4 years. I dont know if its he rectifier tube or the PI though. Its a JSX combo and Im still havin problems so it wasnt just the tube. I really only moved it a couple of times since it last worked good.
I know more about my OTS and its new because I wired it .
The JSX has 4 el34s and 4 12ax7's
1 of the 12ax7s sits next to the el34s and it was broken it was seperate from the other 3 preamp tubes
but since putting that in when I powered up the amp howled and I immediately pulled the plug and said I will deal with this later I have an OTS to play, but in the back of my mind Im thinkin PCB crap or somethin silicon is failed in that amp.  Thats for next weekend

Hey Soudperf
Im sorry to here the trouble but so far no smoke lets get this figured out!
You have 50watt xfmrs just like myself probably .
On my build I only copied the color scheme from the layout but if you have the same colors and it still does that i also read that some of them have been wired backwards on the 2ndary.
I am having similar problem on my jsx and found broken tube by inserting to roughly (oops)

thanks again to all replies
I have since tried to start my JSX and found  a cracked rectifier tube, i replaced it with a EH 12ax7 I had and then powered up and the amp went crazy loud with no input.
Figures atleast my OTS is runnin.
I was gonna get thae  JSX runnin and sell to pay for next build(2550)
Now I gotta disect
