if i switch out the tubes and it still does its thing...do i got a bad output trannie?

alright so here be the issue.
my jtm50 has started blowing output fuses. In the tests...the v4 power tube starts glowing really hot and then the fuse blows.

what the hell do i do?

what do you guys think...can of worms?

and its going to be single input with footswitching capabilities....any ideas on the best way to do this?

Its in the works and will be amazing!!!! any ideas on making it switchable tube and solid state rectifier?

I need to decide.
I play experimental, hardcore, some punk, emo shiete.
I have built and love the jtm50 and it is more than loud enough....the only thing lacking is that bottom end for hardcore riffing and just straight up mean sounding drive.
let me be clear.....i am not looking for high gain metal sound, I like the raw tones of bands like Poison the well, refused and a bunch of bands that use plexi or early jcm800's (2203) I tend to not like the jcm800 tones.....but then again they may have been shiete jcm800's.

heres a link to a lame recording of my band
myspace.com/notinparis

anyways....opinions?

hey NIK!!!!! hint hint!


is that really all the difference?  a 50 watt vox?

p.s. it doesnt need to look or function like it.......just sound like it

I need it......how can i do it using one of the ceriatone kits.....i could use a combo of the overtone chassis, plexi powertrain, and dc 30 guts?

been awhile since i posted.
Amp still sounds great.
here are a couple of terrible photo's of the finished product

ha no not yet.
I am prob gonna mod this thing to more plexi 50 specs to get more of a heavy rock sound.
Like changing  the caps to 50/50.
the el34's may be just right i may just need to adjust other values as well

ha but it would sound like Sh#t!!!!! I am gonna build one simply because I could buy and svt but wheres the pride in that?

I already have the right transformer (mercury 050jm-mm) what else do i need

I cant find webers svt kit anywhere!!!

what about a fender bassman kit then? upgrade tranny and tubes to handle 200 watts? use kt88's?
