Cheers Horsey. I've been llistening to loads of clips of JTM45s and I really think it's the sound I'm looking for. Early Angus, ZZ Top, Jimi, SRV - there's elements of all of them in there.

Damn this waiting...

You're such a big fan of the Shiva sound, so I was thinking if you wouldn't be better off selling all your current amps plus the money you intend to spend on the JTM and get a Shiva instead?

A good point Hunter, but I don't want to spend Shiva money on one amp. Much as I like the sound of it, I find Bogner prices just too much at £1400. Plus I think it looks rubbish :oops:

I think a good JTM45 with a pedal or boost can do a lot of what the Shiva can.

Check out http://www.ceriatone.com

It's around $1000 for the complete amp built by Ceriatone, a cabinet and shipping. So that's around £500 plus import duty.

Everybody help me out here and get Nik to build a Silverface Fender Super Reverb clone (most.underrated.amp.ever) and also something with KT88 tubes.

Sod that, I want him to start making a JTM45/100 kit with four KT66s :twisted:

Should have my JTM45 in a couple of weeks. I'll get some pics up when I've got it here :D

Didn't the old Marshall Major run KT88 tubes in the power stage?

Twinfan · « **Reply #24 on:** September 07, 2007, 02:51:03 PM »

Yup, certainly did. Bet that was a loud bugger!

Stupid loud, from what I understand, loud to the point of being useless unless you happen to be in Deep Purple or something.

Well the extra cosmetic "bits" and my KT-66 valves turned up yesterday. The amp should be finished and ready for collection at the weekend 8)

Oh, and when I pick it up I'm dropping off one of my Klipps to be converted to Marshall Super Bass spec :twisted:

Knowing a good local amp tech is proving to be a GAS guzzler...

awesome! I expect a full review telling us what you think :P

Those Ceriatones have got me drooling. That DC-30 looks like the sex.

horsehead · « **Reply #28 on:** September 12, 2007, 11:53:00 AM »

If an amp looks like sex mate you need to get out more :lol:
I expect a full report twin on this kit :D

Ics and review will be done :)

I'll see if I can get a clip or two recorded aswell.
