Nash Strat and Metroamp 45/100

[nznaturopath]

How do you compare a hotplate vs Aracom DAG attenuator?? IM thinking of getting your Limit edition block end JTM 45/100 and want to have the best of these two attenuators. I already own a Mesa Boogie Mark 5, and it will be nice to have the best of mesa and marshall in my setup. Now thats versitility. I could use the attenuator with the mark five aswell on the 90watt power setting. My horrid JVM i had kept dying while using a hotplate, i hardly used it. Love your thoughts on the matter. Rock on

NICE! =)

What was the volume on this? What's the general ball park the 45/100 breaks up, and how does it compare to the normal JTM45?

Great tone as usual, btw.

Hi George,

What speakers are in the cab? Will the 45/100 work better with ceramic or alnico speakers?

Will it be advisable to use 2x100W speakers? I don't really want to lug 4x12s around.

E.g 100W blue dog and 100W silver bell in a 2x12 closed back cab. How'd this go with the 45/100?

[metroampcom]

If those Webers truly handle 100 watts each, I think you could use them in a 2-12 with this head.

Thanks for the quick reply George.

What speakers were in the cab you're using?

I'm not sure if I should go towards alnicos or ceramics.

[metroampcom]

They are definitely ceramics. If I remember correctly it was my '75 straight cab with G12M black backs.

Thanks George,

Great sounding amps. Keep up the excellent work.

Nice vintage tones, George. Do you have any clips yet of the 100 watt master vol. version yet? I have a real one from 76 or so but it's modded to obscurity. Irretrievable. So after I get the JTM45 kit that'll be next. Rock on!

[metroampcom]

None yet. Still finishing the instructions and stocking parts etc. I'll have some up after we return from the NY amp show. george

It would be nice to hear the 10000 series too. I need a something to do during my 4 weeks of vacation this summer ;) Building an amp seems like a perfect thing to do. For me it´s gonna be the 45/100 or the 10000 series.

[OhYeah729]

what is the volume on the amp??

[metroampcom]

It's loud, but not as loud as later 100 watt amps. More comparable to a 50W amp volume-wise. Loud enough to need an attenuator in most situations.

thanks, see you at the NY amp show!

George, I thought you said you couldn't play Hendrix?

[metroampcom]

Thanks, but I wouldn't say I nailed any Hendrix. Maybe hit a few chords right.

[greasegat]

Thats a Classic 60's Stratocaster right?

[metroampcom]

I wish, but no. It's a Nash Strat copy.

~Great sound...whats a Nash strat...this strat sounds very cool....~~

[metroampcom]

Bill Nash is the builder's name.

Hey George, how is it going? I bought a PTP board from you a couple years ago. Sounds great.

I custom ordered a Nash strat about 6 months ago. It was terribly built, I returned it. You must have an early one. He is hurrying them. good thing you aren't hurrying your stuff. That is why it sounds great.

[metroampcom]

Man, sorry to hear this, I was still hoping to get a Nash Tele at some point.

I'm still putting about 20 hours into each amp. There's just no corners that I'm willing to cut.

Jimmy hendrix 0:00?

[mikebecker330]

Sounds nice George, I put together a jcm800 from your kit and it sounds great. Added extra tube and jose' master. BTW, GO WINGS!!!

[OnTheFritz602]

Very nice George! :)

[jogabonitoboi]

That nails the hendrix tone!
