One last post of the best amp I ever built IMO. It was my version of a JTM45/100 running the original 560+ plate voltages with a pair of KT88'S. This amp is amazing! It's owner is a very blessed person...

It's always a crap shoot and in hindsight, I've realized I wasn't mature enough to handle fame or fortune then. I would have been a train wreck like so many others. But, I enjoyed what I did do. I did meet a lot of "stars" in my youth for better or worse. I went on a spiritual path in 1991...

I built a replacement for myself with vintage Triad transformers that kicks total ass! Here is am older Aerosmith clip of the replacement build:

Most I've played for was about 4k in Biloxi, MS of all places. It's harder to play for a small group.... But, I've been generally fearless playing anywhere. I was a visiting professor, the hardest lecture I gave was to a group of about 12 PHD's. Now that is intimidating and bowel...

Using these for a while now... perfect balance for me...

I take my guitars to Jerry Bizon of Luxxtone. But he is very busy. I have make an appointment well in advance. His work is phenomenal! I'm convinced he has a leprechaun working in secret at his shop....lol... It's worth the wait for me... He has incredible integrity too. I once took my Suhr...
