Hey Jelle,

As usual, fantastic build, congrats on hunting for these parts, no wonder it took a decade to gather all these!
I've got a MM iron stached, waiting for the right build, I have not yet decided if it would be a #102 or a low plate classic.
What had you pick #124?
Clips, clips clips !

I am going in! 16993279505335954937282762255603.jpg 100 watts is going to be loud!! Will require a Master Volume. Checked some voltages Unloaded B+ is 450V And filaments 6.9 V What choke would you recommend? Want to switch from clean to mean with relays ala Dumble. Do I need to think of cascading? M...

first tube: dale metal film in anodes , grids, cathodes // bypassed with MKT all other tubes : anodes MOX 2W or Dales, signal carbon film PI grids MF, cathode MOX, all other CF caps: 6PS result /chassis and cabinet experimental :P : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyi_vo1MTOs Sounds Killer! Thanks ...

Hey guys, very interesting thread and I hope the remaining vibration is settling over time. Quick question as I am planning my build (SLO 100watts) what caps would you use? For the preamp, I read Vima MKT, Orange drops 6PS, Mallory (but almost impossible to find), sozo... As for resistors, would you...

Wow, the level of details is fantastic! Stunning work! Congrats.

Fred.

Lovely build, looks fantastic and I am sure must sound great!!

Any audio clip? I am curious to hear these mods
What is the trimmer with the small cap in front of the PI? Adjustable boost?

Fred.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I went to the local music store to buy some tubes and they are out of stock, nothing left, it is crazy. I need to order some online. Tried again the preamp through another build and everything works fine although the switch for the contour knob seems to have no effect...

Hey guys, It's been a while, and I have been busy building a TR JM Signature. - 3 way bright switch - LNFB on a switch - 3 way gain structure - contour bypass - HT fuses Again, took my time to try and source some period correct part, and recycled an old Fender PA100 for PT, OT choke and reverb parts...

Very interesting thread. I really dig Carlton's video, love the way the amp blooms and get into feedback very naturally without being overwhelming. Is the Ripper #189? One of my favorite tone for Larry is the tour with Steve Lukather and their rendition of "we ended as lovers". I think Larry was usi...

Interesting! Did you record sound samples ? I would like to document the different build (clean and OD side ), low and high plate, skyliner vs classic etc... so I am assembling a master breadboard where I will be able to switch components to sample sound in the same environment with constants. It fe...

Hey ChopSauce, did you measure AC or DC voltages where you think your board is conductive? Have you confirmed the leakage before you reddo everything?

I usually order my boards on eBay straight from China, at the cheapest price ,FR4 material, and so far no issue..

Fred.

Nice build!
What type of MV did you implement, as it is not stock on the Tweedle Dee?
What would the choke add ? Filtering? Hum cancellation? Any effect on the sound or feel of the amp?
What speaker do you plan to use for this? Celestion Rocket or something else?

Fred.

Looks good to me!

Fred.

I mostly have the faceplates printed on aluminum, I usually prefer the look it has. Order of flat washers on the way, and thanks @sluckey for the reference for the longer threaded bushing, if the price difference is minor, I might consider these than the usuals, as two shoulder washer is definitely ...

Fantastic! Thank you guys, you are an amazing ressource!

@chopSauce, that is what I would do as well on a silk screen chassis for example. But I mostly order faceplates and if you add up the shoulder washer X2 + chassis +faceplate, then you can't lock the jack anymore
