We're shooting a demo of the amp as soon as I get a new HD camera.

Very interesting and cool of you to share. I checked out your website, and really respect your skills. You really have a well rounded knowledge base from different amps (not just Marshalls), building pedals, guitars, and killer layouts. Awesome!! :toast:

That's an old unfinished proto laytout that is stuck on a server somewhere, stick to the schematic.

I'll post a layout soon.

Noticed there was a typo on stage 4's cathode resistor value. It's fixed, same url.

Much cleaner layout. I like the way you got more of the parts on the board like with the 10k voltage dropping resisters, and v2a and v2b 100k plate resisters.

Looks like it was designed that way.

Curious. Have you tried the Motorola Transistors used as diodes for the Jose Master? Cerr em gave the part # at the Plexi Palace. I'd share it now, but I'm on my phone.

Mike, for the transistor, is that the mod Chris was talking about? using one for more gain and less noise??

I think that the one:
The transistors were MPSA06 ....
Wired like this: BE--EB----BE--EB
