SLO is 2.2k, I'm using 1.7@520V. 1.4 is interesting, I think that's actually only the half winding impedance so it's actually 2.8k. What is the b+?

Its possible he's wrong with that, he was trying to remember off top of his head.
I measured 575v on B+ yesterday

Nah Epic Amps. He had a huge list of purchasable mods for jet city amps and also sold a few of his own.
He's on a hiatus at the moment. It was consuming him

Building a couple of cabs for more Jansen 4/Twelves.
I am gluing the tolex on the Vox way, rather than Fender's.
Workshop is bedroom floor this time

Right, tolexed the amp cabinet. Good job.
Whatever you guys paid BG for him building you a tolex or tweed cabinet... it wasn't phucking enough!
ps - i don't like swearing

I just screw and glue too because I can't do the dovetails. But I like knowing there's dovetails under the tweed or tolex which is why BG builds my cabs!
