Thanks man!

I got the 40-18025 from Classic Tone. I'm pretty psyched about it cause its supposedly a "tone monster" Check this demo out;

I decided to go ahead and mound the PT. Next up is the OT, then the main boards. The sockets and heaters will be last.

Building an amp is pretty sweet. I like to mount the boards to see what it looks like. Saweet! Anyway I am still to receive my Classic Tone OT and still browsing cabs. I have my G12-65 waiting already.

We seem to be going for the same thing. I'm interested with the results. And I know how detailed and fun your reviews are on your tonal experiments. Thanks Gregg.

I sincerely hope most are dummies.

I see. Actually if get the chance to get a 2x12 cab, I wanna add bigger bottom and a little more highs to complement my G12-65. Any suggestions? 

I see. Yeah Celestions speakers typically seem to color the sound then? For example the G12-65 which I now have, seem to have a typical low midrange thing going on to my ears.

Yes sir I actually read about this. I tried to loosen the nuts a moment ago and the screws can now be adjusted to fit!

Also I wanna make a correction on what I though Nik said. I should just scrape to bare the screw holes on the chassis, not the whole area where the PT contacts the chassis.

Thanks wyatt and sduck.

I emailed Nik and he said I need to remove the nuts holding the pt together contrary to what wyatt said (?), then use it to bolt it from the inside. This should re arrange the screws properly and hopefully finally fit perfectly like the pt should. Its made to fit together its an OTS 50 pt. He also advised to scrape the powder coated chassis where it contacts the pt. Is that for heat dissipation only?

Thanks again!

Hi! I got my PT from Nik. I notice the screws are substantially closer to each other making a direct fit to the chassis hole quite impossible. Now I'm wondering if the screws are somewhat tightened slightly of from the PT's screw shafts or something and I'm wondering if I can just loosen them up, re align them, and then tighten again making sure they now align with the chassis holes. Is this a bad idea?

Also, Do I remove the nut which holds the PT together and use it to mount to the chassis? Or are there 4 nuts provided in the kit? SHould I leave the nut and mount it like that with another set of nuts inside the chassis?

Thanks a lot. You guys are the best when it comes to helping people in here!

I haven't really tried one of these heavy duty clean speakers. That doesn't mean difficulty in getting overdrive on the lead channel does it?

  Means a lot! Thanx I like too keep things as neat as I can.

Trannies are coming in! I can move along now. I got  a Classic Tone 40-18025 marshall style OT and choke 3h and Nik's PT.

WHich eminence model are you talking about? And would the Swamp THang be in the same league?

I see. I dont think I can try it beforehand though. Thanks for your advice. Yes I like my bass notes huge but tight and clean.

Sir would this Fane be a good solution for somebody who finds an ODS/ OTS too mid heavy?

I like huge sounding strat tone. EVM 12L is my choice but I'm a bit concerned about too much mids from an OTS. I'm halfway through my kit.

Thanks

Thanks. Definitley this is one of my options. I actually read your post about you using this. Thanks for your help.
