My first "real" build . . . sourcing components
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2014 8:21 pm
I'm undertaking a JTM45 build. I've built things in the past, but never the right way and not with the correct components. So it's time to do one right.
I'm sourcing mostly everything from valvestorm but have a couple questions.
1) are mil spec AB resistors okay to use or are they a downgrade from non-mil spec? valvestorm seems to be out of stock of a couple values but have the mil spec for those.
2) where can i get one of those cobalt blue BC 333mf caps for V1? saw ones made by philips, but dont know if those a recommended
3) curious what you guys recommend for the bright, mix, tone stack, and pi caps. was thinking of getting some of those now ceramics. any one of a good source?
4) anyone know where to get a vintage looking brown board with some really good turrets already installed? I don't really like the red one valvestorm sells
