What Amp are you playing today?

Am final voltage/tone testing the last amp here to be built, made it out of scrapped out parts (I think this is version #8 and it's getting messy in there ), I think I am done, yup done.
Done, done as in last amp to be built-- for good, and will be off into other venues

The done amp has a choice of either two input jacks for the user, take your choice. Simplicity really, but choices

One jack is typical Fender based Bright channel triode input to a Marshall based cathode follower, Marshall tone stack, 12 watt 6CM6 tube based power section.

( Note, not the typical Fender setup of casting "made gain" directly into a tone stack to cut said "made gain ", then trying to "up" the remaining gain with a following stage. )

The other jack is typical Marshall based Bright high channel triode input to the same cathode follower, tone stack, and power section.

Choose your flavor. A good platform amp, and good for home noodling.

A happy day here. First time ever that I fired up an amp and was able to "hear THAT TONE that has been rolling around in my head for years".

That is a neat feeling.

Maybe its my day to die happy, who knows.

I get it happened to me in 2010 I built a 100 watt ODS high plate skyline EQ but way to loud for stage use
so I built a 50 watt but the clean channel was distorted so I de tuned V1 from 220K 150K to 135K x 2
 
Marshall Origin 20.

Just think. 2x 2 channel modules that can be changed out. Many choices. I also have the JCM800 module but with the 20 it's 1 module only. Still gives me 3 channels as the 20 has a built in clean channel.
All have 12AX7 tubes as well,.

That is cool. Actually my next amp is going to be one of the new Ceriatone 20 watt Plexis. I just don't know if I'm going to buy the kit and do it all myself, or the pre-assembled kit where all I need it a head shell and tubes. I guess it will depend on how much money I have to spend on it when the time comes, but I'm not buying the complete amp with that hideous stubby looking cab.

Edit: forgot the link.
