Very nice video.
There´s a sweeden guy called johan segeborn who´s got a youtube channel and do all kind of experiments with cranked amps 3 days a week. Check it out

Yea man. Johan is fucking awesome. Been watching his shit for awhile. His videos are crazy. Did you see the one where he turned a lawsuit era EB bass into a guitar?

Hahaha!
I´ve just did. A gibson bass that sounds like a telecaster...
If you come up with something, just tell him. I did it and had a hiwatt demo

haha, crazy good!

I'll try this too with the jtm45 clone that I built and show it to you guys.

Those old guys were crazy as f*** that they ran their amps at full volume back in the day. No wonder most of them are suffering from hearing damage.

What about the guys who would daisy chain two or three of these together? You know back in 1967 there weren't many companies making great PA systems (they were just coming out), and even Marshall made a version of this same amp made to take hi-impedance mics (had eight pre-amps)



Anyway - the point is that back then all of your volume (from a guitar) had to come from your amp - not so much the PA system, so they really cranked them up.

I cranked my JTM45 clone after band practice today : https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbz2tJFlTaK/

[motterpaul]

Are you using those new SovTek KT66 fat tubes that bias like a 6L6?

Excellent,  balazs.bencs!!  Who needs pedals???

[balazs.bencs]

haha, exactly! :D

I'm using JJ KT66 tubes, they are big!
Biased at around 35-36mA. Btw built based on the Ceriatone JTM45 layout.
