Was just wondering where I might find the 100W Plexi amp kit instructions? I have looked everwhere on the forums but to no avail.
By the way, I am really impressed with JTM-45 instructions! Very nicely detailed with great aesthetics. I am thinking of getting a JTM-45 or a 100W Plexi but not sure how complicated the Plexi kit is.
100w Plexi kit instructions?

Unfortunately, the 100 watt instructions are not posted in the forum. I'll be happy to send them to you on a CD, just email me your address: sales@metroamp.com
I have to be honest, the 100 watt instructions are no where near as good as the JTM 45. They were my first attempt and it shows. The info is all there, but it's not as logical or intuitive as the JTM45 ones.
The plexi kit is more complicated. There is more to the power supply and more filter caps. But it's not unbearably difficult. And there's plenty of info and help here on the forum if you need it.

I have to admit I am surprized at how many guys jump right into the deep end. I can't tell you how often someone says "I've built a few pedals, now I want to build a 100 watt plexi". Insane.
But they do it, time and again. Lots of you guys here on the forum have done exactly this.
Anyway, it's no excuse for subpar instructions. But it is surprizing.

Well, my point was that perhaps the percieved audience has now changed since you did those first instructions. I think they were written for a builder more experienced in amps and electronics, who knew the blanks that needed filled in. That audience has just kinda changed since they were first done.Anyway, it's no excuse for subpar instructions. But it is surprizing.
