Got my Valvestorm JTM45 order today. Still waiting for the Metrospec transformers and need to order a cabinet.
Nice, are you gonna get started without the PT and OT? nice work bench by the way. I like the window you can look out. Is it in the house or is that a garage? Here is mine. Don’t have a window but got a 65” Samsung smart out of the trash. New mother board fixed it for 70 bucks. Enjoy the build
PT and choke landed today! Also- measure twice, cut once. The cutout on my chassis is for a smaller PT so I'll have to mod it a bit . Oh well, it will give me something to do until everything else comes in! Thanks to Amadeus91 for the hookup! Merren PT and choke by jessemhopkins posted Aug 1, 2020 at 1:29 PM
Are there any guidelines on how to space the power tube sockets? Annoyingly, this chassis does not have a cutout to hang the 32 + 32 can cap between v5 and v6 and instead is designed for both cans to mount against the wall next to the pt. Since I'm already gonna have to cut it, I might as well fix that too while I'm at it.
Yeah, I’m concerned I won’t have clearance above the pt, but if I do then I’ll just leave it be. I’ll have to test fit it all when I get the OT.
That’s inside my garage and you know that I started working on it. I’ll probably put in the tube sockets and maybe wire the preamp heaters. I started populating the board today. I did this wiring yesterday. https://www.marshallforum.com/threads/yes-another-jtm45-build.115247/#post-2013317
Hey everyone. Got my OT on the way now. Since the cab is an offset look but I'm doing a mid-60s style electronically, Chris Merren is doing a Drake style OT in a hammertoe shell, so it will look like an RS. Maybe that's sacrilegious to some of you but I'm excited. Does anyone know where I can purchase a mounting bracket for the PT?
I'm sure the hammered finish OT will look good. I usually get the aluminium mounting ring when I order PTs from Marstran You can get them elsewhere.
I'm sure the hammered finish OT will look good. Do you mean one of these? They are $16 from Valvestorm.
