So some of you may remember a while back, Pete built me an 18 watt Marshall TMB clone. It's not exactly a clone of course, because Pete did several mods and tweaks to improve on the design.
Here's a pic of it, with my Lopoline 2 X 12 loaded with V30s.
I hate to admit it, but I hadn't really been using this amazing amp very much, because in my band I need more gain and volume. I wanted this mainly for noodling around at home, and playing some old rock stuff for my own amusement, which I haven't really had much time to do between practicing and writing. It suddenly occured to me yesterday, that I have a Tech 21 XXL pedal kicking around that might really suit the TMB.
Oh, look at that cheap, shitty cable I was using too. Hey, all my shit is at our rehearsal space. Sue me. :ROTF:
Anyway, I was right, these two are a match made in heaven. I can go from super clean classic rock, to warped-out psychedelic stoner rock at the click of a switch. The TMB is going to be seeing a lot more use from here on, I guarantee it. I'm gonna have to get some hosting space so I can post some clips.
I gotta throw out a huge thanks again to Pete for building this beauty for me.
By the way Pete, have you finished any more, or are you too busy with the SLO clone?

I'm all thumbs when it comes to that. Wiring an amp from scratch, I can handle. but applying tolex just right and building headshells requires a different array of skillsets than I have. Or at least have time to learn.
