I really like the reverb circuit. It is smoother than a Fender reverb. With the filters in position 1, you get the most straight signal coming through, so the reverb is somewhat subtle, but when you kick on the filters, especially in the higher positions, you get some really deep reverb. The filters are great. I commented a long time ago that I didn't care for the filters, but now that I've built them and used them, I find them really useful. You can go from slight tone shaping to extreme change of tone. They really add flexibility to the amp.trane34 wrote:Looks great. Sounds like a smooth juicy twin. How do you like the filters and reverb?
Thanks Randy. It was my bad on the previous post about my JM. I shouldn't have posted it if I couldn't go into detail about it. Lesson learned. I appreciate the compliment. My work is still just ok (this was my 5th build) -- did you see that Manzamp that ic-racer did? That is a real work of art! Also, dreric's SSS002 is gorgeous -- I can't wait for that one to come to life. I'd love to see a pic of your JM build. [edit: all that and I forgot to answer your question -- the chassis is 24"x8"x2.5". I got it from DDawg and did all the drilling and cutting myself.]RB wrote:Thanks so much for sharing.
I am pleased to see that you didn't let your last experience here run you off.
Your work is of a very high level and is a pleasure to see.
The short period of time your JM build was up sparked interest in that amp for me and I built one using the one gut shot I was able to download as a guide.
I would like to know what the chassis dimensions are for this SSS derived beast.
Regards
Randy
By the way, the inductor that I used is .5HY. I found it on ebay. On 001, HAD used a .3HY and on 002, he used a .9HY (I might have them backwards), I figured that this was a good compromise. I have yet to short it to see if the inductor actually makes any difference (simulations reportedly say it doesn't)-- that experiment is on the to-do list. Also, I'm going to try to run 2 in series to see if 1HY makes any difference.
