forgot spec...handbuilt by martin at martamp

It’s basically a Marshall type preamp, with 2 x 6V6s instead of EL34s, so it gives about 20w instead of 50w.

It also has a mode switch, which reconfigures the preamp from “Plexi” (early JTM type preamp) to “Ali” (later JMP metal panel preamp). The Plexi mode does fantastic cleans, and a nice juicy, bluesy crunch. Ali mode tightens the bass for a better hard rock sound.

Pretty much as you would get with the difference between a JTM45 and a JMP50

Great amp, I looked at his site yesterday (as he is one of the few official power scaling guys in Europe).

I would also LOVE some clips.

Congrats - a magnificent amp !!

Strangely I've got a pair of 6V6's just waiting to be put into either my 1987 plexi or my 2204, which would be very similar in tone to your amp I suspect.
This is all unless I sell both the amps first , of course ! (personal amp dilemmas again !!)
