Just wanted to add my review of this amp as I had a chance to have a blat thru earlier in the week and I've been talking to mike over the past month or two about some ideas. I have an empty blackface head shell and a 1x12 combo that I could interchange between if I got another amp built.robthemac wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 4:19 pm Picked this up over the weekend. MikeC-built Deluxe Reverb in a blonde/oxblood 2x10 combo. Fully handwired. Mike might have some gutshots.

Modded to have a higher-gain and pedal-friendly 'Normal' channel. Normal channel is aggressive and quite middy, almost Plexi-like. Loves a dirty boost. Vibrato channel is classic scooped, sparkly Blackface. Heaps of headroom, even winding it up to 5 with humbuckers. Thankfully takes my preferred overdrive well! Lovely spring reverb and tremolo.
Will try to find some microphones and record a thing or two.
Well that doesngo a long way to explaining that !MikeC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 8:26 am Much appreciated Ants, it's extremely pleasing that a "good ear" likes the tone of my amp build! And your comment "If i was listening without knowing it I would have picked it for a larger 6l6" is most interesting. I use JJ 6V6-S in my DR builds because DR's run very high voltages and the JJ 6V6-S can stand it Of note is that many say that the JJ 6V6-S is more like and sounds like a 6L6!
You're a monster.
I've had no problems with JJs but I don't build/deal with a ton of amps. I suspect it is the very high screen voltage that kill the tubes, not so much the plate voltage.StrummersOfThunder wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 8:39 amWell that doesngo a long way to explaining that !MikeC wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 8:26 am Much appreciated Ants, it's extremely pleasing that a "good ear" likes the tone of my amp build!

Yeh, great amp.
Have you had any reliability issues with JJs recently ?
I've had to replace a set in my band master and Clarry hs mentioned that he's gone away from them. He says the test great and handle plate voltages with great output early on but has noticed a lot of early failures ?
