Disturber Posted January 24 Posted January 24 9 hours ago, Jakeboy said: I had an early 2000s Bluesbreaker (JTM with tremolo). I did have the circuit modded slightly to original 60s specs. I loaded KT66s and old Euro and US preamp tubes. It was very loud and glorious when cranked. Beano tones abounded. What surprised me was the pristine cleans the amp generated. Chimey and punchy. It went into feedback easily. Though technically a plexi, it was a fairly bass-heavy amp and did not generate the tighter more aggressive JMP tones that I associate with the term “plexi.” But it was a great amp. Here is my 1973 Artiste 2040 combo. I had it modded about 20 years ago in to a JTM50. Channel one is a 6G6-B blonde Bassman circuit. The reverb was removed. A mid control for the JTM50 cirquit is on the bottom side, in a hole that was not used. So nothing drilled. It's a great sounding amp. Like a JTM45 but with EL34's and a solid state rectefier. The Bassman channel also sounds great, a bit more open. 2 2 Quote
