    what may start off as bad soldering will quickly become extraordinary soldering with a few hours of practice. Soldering isn't difficult once you learn the correct methods and have good tools.

    Don't be scared , practise on an old , broken radios , TV , etc ! It's more easy cos is not board soldering for what I hawe still no guts ! I will recomend Y to use Silver based soldering wire , (for better and cleaner contact , with less corosion ) plus if Y can find , to be filled with cleaning cemical , inside , or if can't , use a quality paste to put on contacts , soldering iron ,etc , before Y start with contacting parts ( melting down soldering wire ) ! Ask a pro for recomandation , wich power of a soldering pen is gona suite Y ! Enjoy in future projects !

    i just finished building this amp 2 weeks ago and let me tell ya this head will blow your mind. And oh my god is it LOUD. I run mine without the rectifer tube and leave the 50 watt switch on the 50 Watt position. My signal chain is an MXR Carbon copy into an MXR gt-od, into a Boss turbo distortion, MXR 6 band eq, and then into a homemade volume attenuator to switch between rhythm volume and lead volume. Jumper the inputs, and tinker until you get the tone you want. You will not be disapointed!

    Hey Rob, try using nut drivers instead of pliers or an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts on the front panel switches and pots. Nut drivers fit the nuts securely, won't slip, and have a smooth surface so they won't scratch. Otherwise, very instructive video! Thanks, Greg.

Many of us in the over 50 camp think of these as the "Allman Brother" Marshalls, violin-like sustain for days, killer for slide (brother Duane), goes with a Les Paul like beer goes with pizza! Who the hell needs pedals? Only 1 down side, grumpy grouches will be screaming "TURN IT DOWN" constantly.Not recommended for apartment dwellers or small beer joint gigs. A truly awe inspiring amp!

    Hi guys ! Your work looks formidably neat ! On the other hand, I'm building a '59 Fender Bassman model 5F6 and was thinking about doing some modifications (I'm aware that a JTM45 and Fender bassman are quite identical in some aspects): 1- Changing to a solid state rectifier 2- Inserting an effects loop 1- If I do this, should I change some capacitors values in the rectifying section for bigger ones ?? (I mean with more capacity) 2- I've heard that this might be a waste of time in a fender bassman because the difference in tone wouldn't be that noticable... And as a valve state amp, matching the impedances would be quite troublesome and I would have to design some buffer to lower the impedances and back. Anyway, I'm an amateur on this, what would you recommend ? Thanks for your time!

    @TubeDepotTV Very true. If I was building the amp I would try and be as true as possible to the original tube compliment. KT66 tubes just have such a unique tone. Many people don't know this but the KT66 was a big part of Jimi Hendrix's sound. More bass than an EL34, more mids than a 6L6. Ton's of headroom, a good example being the Monterey Pop festival songs.
