Mod an Origin or build a kit?

[MadAsAHatter]

I'm considering starting a new project in the next couple of months, but not sure what I want to do. The two basic choices are mod an Origin 50 with one of the drop-in mod-PCB's that Jason Tong sells or build a kit amp. Kits I'm considering are Modulus Marshbar, Ceriatone Yeti, or JCM 800 style kit. Links to the stuff I'm looking at below.

What would you pick as a next project?
Secondary question. Are the transformers on the Origin 50 decent?

If you do the 800 ..... you can turn it into a JEL spec ... really easily

I just ordered all the stuff to do another one ...... as soon as I'm done with my Cali

Have no idea, but your projects always turn out great!
Looking forward to what you come up with, whatever direction you go!

I didn't think about turning it into JEL spec. Thanks for giving me another option to contribute to decision paralysis LOL!
