My very own design (with more than a bit of help from Jim Marshall, and Nik at Ceriatone!) the idea was to capture the tone of a JTM-45, bassman-like cleans, and AC-DC crunch at sensible. but still giggable volumes, and I think I did a pretty good job! It's also smaller (will fit in to a Marshall 20W lead/bass style head cab) and a lot lighter too!
The amp put's out about 20W using 2 6V6's and runs fixed bias, you could probably squeeze 25W out of it if you weren't concerned about the life of the power tubes!
I've since build another using more 'boutique' components and to be honest they sound pretty much the same, but the new one cost far more to build than it would sell for so I'm hanging on to it!
Uses 3 ECC82 (12AX7) pre-amp valves, and EZ81 valve rectifier, and 2 6V6GT output valves
300 pounds + postage, I can re-wire for 110V if needed.
No head cab, but new JJ pre-amp valves and rectifier, and NOS russian 6V6's
