The Amp Garage

I may have found a JCM800 2204 for $450 on my local CL. Just went up for sale! I emailed the guy immediately. This may all be moot in a bit, hahaha.

I'll just do the mods I planned, and maybe upgrade to Zoso caps.

I don't want to pay more than 700 for one. People are trying to sell them for 1200, because of the reissues. The lowest I've found was the two channel version with reverb, for 650. Don't really want that one. Part of this is because I want to create something that's better than what I can buy out th...

Brian Wallace's transformers are very well priced, it seems, as well.

If he thinks I can get where I wanna go with one of those, I definitely check it out. Thanks for the heads up on his stuff!

Metro has great kits with instructions and help to boot. Triode also has a JCM800 kit without chassis for $349. But you would then need to use an available layout/schematic and get a chassis such as the JCM800 blank chassis from Turretboards.com Mark That's not too bad, I can always get the chassis...

That's definitely something I'd file under "works better" for myself, haha. What kind of transformers should I be looking for? I'm a colleg...

I'm looking to either build or modify a JCM800 for myself. Now, I can't seem to find a 2204 at a decent price...so it's looking like I might as well build a brand new one. I was wondering if you all could weigh in my build plan? Essentially, since I am building it, I would like this amp to be the be...

wow, I had no idea he was that sick.

So what's the skinny on this amp kit?

How much does it cost, what's included, what do I need to get/build myself?

new guy here, but i've been reading through this, maybe 1/4 of the way through...And I'm very intrigued. Definitely will be hearing from my wallet in the near future.


As for now, I can only extend my sincerest condolences.
