JTM45/Black Flag Hybrid - Any experience?
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2019 10:09 am
Hi,
I built a JTM45 several years ago, and I'm very satisfied about the sound and feel. Unfortunately for me, last year, I built 12xxx clone, and I have to say that I really dig that sound, more than my good old JTM.
Now the question: what if I try to create an Hybrid between the two, that is: split cathode and superlead-like preamp section, tube rectifier and KT66? On the JTM45 I have the FX loop installed, and I've tried the power stage with many preamps (also an ADA MP1) it responds really cool and has that natural compression thing going on, so I don't want to switch to EL34 and SS rectifier.
Would it be difficult to do?
Do I need to change the turret board or I can modify the Jtm45 one?
Has anybody ever tried this configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
