Here's what it looks llike, finished

I am building a 20W L&B for a customer and also one for myself.

Here's a sneak preview of it on top of my JTM45



If that ain't cool, I don't know what is 

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.
Also experience with any other brand 6CA7 would be appreciated.

I usually put in JJs, but was wondering how the GT 6CA7s would hold up.

What plate voltages did you get?

Thanks!! Exactly what I was looking for 

Hi, I'm looking for a build plan for a 5e3 combo I have to build.
I'll be using a 15" speaker so I'll probably have to ajust the size to make it fit, but anyone has anything to share?

Thanks. How do you like it? Same character but louder?

Anyway, it's not an easy switch to make back and forth...

Don't know if it's possible at all or what mods need to be made to the standard circuitry, but has anyone tried putting 6L6s in it instead of 6V6s?

I see which one you mean now

It's on every schematic that I have seen so as far as I know it should be there.

Which one are you talking about?

Hi Guys,

I'm a Marshall-man by nature but someone asked me if I could build him a 5e3.
Can anyone tell me what the official powerrating of this amp is?
Something like 20W with 2 6V6s?
Or am I far off.

Also, what's the tonal difference with the 5e7?

Thanks!

Got a question from a customer: can the 20W Lead & Bass be used for playing bass?

Any thoughts? Anyone tried it?

Depends on the exact PPIMV, but the Ken Fisher (which is the most straight forward one) is out of circuit when on 10.

Would it work well in a combo too?

I know that it would better to have the tubes hanging down, but the BluesBreaker didn't have and that amp didn't suck

Any rattling problems?

Bass is always a problem with a JTM45.

I have put a PPIMV in my JTM45 and never regretted it. I just 100k stereo instead of 250k tho. Helps to keep the bass tighter it seems.
