I'm interested in something like a JCM800 but with that smooth bottom end of a rectifier. Quite a gritty sound, good for metal and hard rock, but backing off the gain should give a nice heavy blues sound.
so therefore I'd be interested in the JCM800 schematic and the dual rectifier one.
I've read about modding amps, and several people have said that these days you can buy an amp which will do pretty much whatever you want. Although I'm thinking of doing something along the lines of tube vs solid state amplification for my 3rd year project for university, so I was thinking I should get up to speed on the techniques and whatnot.
My setup at the moment consists of a PRS - maxon OD-9 - roland cube 30.
I know the cube amp is the weak link in the chain, but I want to make quite a high output amp for gigs and whatnot. Plus without tubes I know I'm not getting the full benefits from the maxon pedal!
Anyone know any suppliers with component prices?
