Got this in early 2006. TMB chassis with the Post Phase Inverter Master Volume Mod. Also known as "The Rich Mod". One Weber Blue Dog and one Celestion Blue. Mercury Magnetic transformers. Sozo capacitors. Mojo cab. NOS tubes. Nothing but the best parts!

If your into the classic JTM tone, this is it. We play alot of AC/DC, and this amp nails it! Old school crunch and bite. This thing is quiet as a mouse too when idle. Don't under estimate the 18 watts either. This thing can get pretty loud. No problem over a hard hitting drummer. If I want clean, just roll back on the guitar volume knob. Every time I plug into this amp, it sounds better every time....where does it stop?

No Opinion
Haven't had the amp long enough to know. But from the looks of the way its built and all the high grade components that went in to it,,I wouldn't be afraid to gig this amp w/out a back up.

I've been playing for over 30 years,,Ive played through and owned quite a few different amps. Marshall,Mesa Boogie,Fender,Ampeg, and yes even Peavey.I know what "I" want, and Steve delivered! If it was stolen,first I'd sit down and cry, then I'd get on the phone with Steve and order another!
