Re: MajorNut JCM 800 Build.
I don't give bloody piss what anyone says! On a brand new amp or cap job; I always do a full reform on the all the filter caps, new or not. People that say you don't need to, aren't being professional and are willing to have a cap go off in a new build or worse yet a vintage Marshall! Let's see you explain that to your customer. All that acidic insulation fluid and the bloody clean up that follows, it's just inexperience showing. And how do you know how long those "New" caps have been sitting on the shelf?
Right now I am actually doing the reforms now been at it for 2hrs. I have a setup the interfaces with my laptop, so it monitors current draw, temp, and increases the voltage in steps according to the stability of the aluminum oxide layer.
