Re: little Blue Amp
Your build is among the best ever seen here. Great attention to the details and excellent craftsmanship. Congrats.
I happen to need the same kind of amplifier as a grab and go thing , so if you are willing to give availability of that pcb, I would be in....
Thanks
Paolo

Re: little Blue Amp
Alexander,
What speaker did you end up using in the amp? I can't see it mentioned anywhere.

Yes, the speaker somehow does not hit the lens...norburybrook wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 6:10 pm Alexander,

I've tried a few speakers from the ones I have. The first thing I listened to was of course EVM, since I tune all my amps through it. It is installed in the TL-cab and there are no complaints about its sound.
The second speaker was Cream Back. It is almost new, and as far as I know this is not the best period for evaluating it. Sound was... barbed)))
I also have two speakers Eminence legend v128 and GB128. Both sounded pretty good. The sound of the V12 is smooth, with a dense bass, bright top, but with a dip in the middle frequencies. With this amplifier, the sound seemed a little sterile.
But GB added to the sound of nice harmonics. It emphasized the beginning of the breakup much earlier than the V12 and this made them sound seemed more interesting.. I left this speaker in the cab.

I agree about the EVM ported cab, it's cab that basically plays back what you put into it without too much colouration..good or bad. I still often go back to this cabinet.
Again I want to commend you on a great build, everything is just perfectly executed. I take my hat off to you and I love your dog.

Re: little Blue Amp
Thank you Dorrisant and Alkuz! I will check out those posts. I know Mesa Boggie sells them on there site but there international shipping is expensive.dorrisant wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 8:23 pmHere: https://www.forum-speakerbuildersupply. ... rs-8212246
And the TAG discussion: https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31300
Thanks for the info on your spk choice Alkuz! I just checked the specs on the Eminence Legend GB128 and wow it is an affordable spk compared to anything Celestion makes! It also has a descent size magnet at 38oz and total weight is 8.1 lbs . I may have to try that with my next JM build!
Congrats again on an amazing build.
Thanks!
Guy

Re: little Blue Amp
On of the nicest projects yet. Very impressive. I put a Celestion Alnico Gold in the JM Sig I built. I demoed a Two Rock at NAMM several years ago and that is the speaker they were using in their newer take on the JM. Worth looking into. Very nice speaker for that circuit.
Curious about the weight of the combo. It looks like the perfect grab and go.

Re: little Blue Amp
Hello --
Would add to the chorus of praise but it seems we're about out of superlatives. Fine build and generous demo. I've a question about the box dimensions. Presume you put as much thought into that as the rest of your, and wondering how and what you decided on.
Best .. Ian
PS - If Marcus' designs are dishevelled mine then are disarranged or even deranged.

Re: little Blue Amp
I didn't make detailed drawings of this cab. But I hope these sketches will be enough to understand the design and dimensions.
