Starting a Ceriatone Plexi All Access build!

Looks like that will be one awesome build. I actually like ceriatone Marshall’s - they don’t get enough credit especially with upgraded iron. I’d prefer a ceriatone jcm800 over a reissue simply because you can PTP the board and it’s more mod friendly down the road.

Congrats! Make a thread in the tech forum and keep us updated along the way!
 
I have had ceriatone with Classictone and with the ceriatone iron. It sounded great with either I think that you can't go wrong with Ceriatone. I've had several from 2204 to a molecular to a Leviathan. All have been great and plus if you want to make any adjustments the layouts make it so much easier. You are going to love it
 
I have a friend that's getting ready to order one of these built. He bought a jcm 800 and he absolutely loves it it's his favorite amp I'll be interested in seeing your progress

Not much I can do until the transformers arrive. Tonight I installed the tube sockets and can caps.

I'm still doing some little things that can be done while I wait for the transformers. Pots, chassis ground lugs, front/back panels, etc. Unfortunately, I cracked the IEC mains socket by tightening the bolt too much. It shouldn't be an issue though. https://photos.app.goo.gl/VwJwY3WrSWvGebnW9
 
How can anyone possibly be having more fun than me on a Sunday night!

Heaters wires done.

I’ve been thinking about getting one of the jcm 800 models

I'm really interested to watch as the build progresses
I've been toying with the idea of building one of these kits, but I feel it may be outside of my skillset.

Ceriatone's kits don't come with a step-by-step guide. Just a layout. If you feel more comfortable with building using a guide, you may want to try Trinity, Mojotone, etc.
 
Found about an hour of time yesterday to start the PT wiring.

Speaking of Headfirst Amplification... I'm planning to add their FET boost to this amp! Killer tones here,
 
I got some more done today. I think I'm at the point where I'll start populating the turret board.

Made a bit more progress today. It's getting into the "rat's nest" phase of the build! 😂
