The Amp Garage

Which Hammond are you using?

Dont forget if you go with any xfrmrs other than Merc Magnetics or Ceriatone you will also have to add separate 6v xfrmr for relays. Niks have that built in. Although the other xfrmr can be picked up at radio shack and installed next to PT on inside of chassis. Just more clutter I would have liked t...

FM50 Modern eagle is up and running and sounds great. PLayed it for 4hrs last night and my wife had to drag me away from it. It's the best sounding amp I've ever played IMO but it's also the first time I've ever played a d-style amp so not much to compare with. Now I just really need to get a d-lat...

Oops forgot to say IMHO

+1 on the RF, EJ and JM comment.
I find Joe Bonamassa and Sonny Landreth a lot less boring to listen to for D-style users.

I like how they use electrician style KO seals to cover the 2 empty sockets, that saved them a few cents.

I actually am almost finished building this amp. It is the same as the FM but a couple components are changed because a lot of people thought the FM50 was little too bright souding.

Did you ask Nik about his lower pricing from Mercury. I found out after I had already ordered my OTS50 that he is a dealer and gets special pricing on them. One guy from this forum said it only ended up costing $70 more than if he went with the Ceriatone Iron.

Yes I am planning to do the 100 watt build.
I didn't realise it needed the 6v tap either I guess I may just order the Pt from Nik.
Thanks again

Thank you Tom and Greg I think I've found what I will need
The Hammond 290FX PT
The tonemaster OT 4-8-16 as suggested by Greg

The cost of both of these together is less than the shipping cost from Malaysia alone.

Thanks again youve both been very helpful

Thanks for the fast response Tom
Did you have to modify the ceriatone chassis or did everything fit correctly?
Also did you build the 50watt or 100watt?

Hello all I am new to this forum and am sorry if this topic has been covered. I plan on ordering a OTS HRM kit from ceriatone but the trannies add so much cost to the shipment I would like to find out if there are compatable trannies in the states that wont break my bank. I have already found the Me...
