I owned a Chandler Tube Driver rackmt version yrs ago. Yes, It was noisy and had some decent tone but they were in the infancy stages building this type circuit at that point. I think the Chandler and BK Butler Real Tube were some of the first 12ax7 type pedals around.

There are a lot of options out there now and many have done away with the noise problems. The VOx Bulldog, Britboost and Big Ben. The Radial Tonebone series, Damage Control Demonizer and Womanizer which looks interesting. Just got the new Guitar One mag w/ cd demoing many of these pedals. AActually liked the Radial stuff best out of this batch. Still dig the Valvedriver over all however. Im dying to run it through a metroamp 66 replica JTM45/100 and still want one. WOnder if george has the sound clips up yet on that amp. Im gasing to hear them!!!!!!!!!!!

God what a tone. It's hard to say how grateful I am for your doing this.

I can build the '67 replicas now. I should add it to the store listing. The JTM45/100 is on hold until I get an accurate block end chassis. Looks like spring time for that.

The '67 is a stark contrast to the 12 series clips I've posted recently. All of the AC/DC, Free, ZZ Top, Zep tones just seem to ooze from this circuit.
It's more organic and doesn't have the upper midrange aggressive qualities.
Essentially, a JTM45/100 with EL34's and different power supply.

I'm excited....someday I'll be reading the History of Metropolous and see how rare the early JTM45/100 clones on the original aluminum chassis were........between you , me and Mighty Mike there are only a handful out there!!!!

Flames - I am confused, please clarify:

* The aluminum chassis George had been using are used up? What happened ?

* He is getting new stock made now ? Aluminum or Steel ?

* Aluminum is true to vintage spec correct ?

* Where are the JTM45/100 clips located ?

I am new to this board sorta, I really want to see and hear everything. (JH) :idea:

Thanks - Jim
give the mule what he wants

The '66 JTM45/100 was built on the same aluminum chassis as the '67 and '68 clones....and those clones sucked George dry. I'd guess a total of five JTM45/100's got built before those ran out, George's prototype, mine and I think Mike did three......
Then the steel chassis run was in, and George wanted to do block-end ali chassis for the JTM45/100's like the '66 he got....so there's no aluminum chassis currently left for any more of these bad boys......

There was one or two JTM45/100 clips sandwiched into the older thread with '67 replica clips IIRC.

it could work - i have been trying to figure out the last amps made with alum chassis - seems sketchy on what that actually is.... but again i will probably leave my " first" build intact working on map #2 atm - but now im going back and forth between a 67 and 68 :)
