Is the input on the TMB channel a "high" input or "low"? It's placement suggests low but it seems insane to put n the low input and leave out the high.
@dellorto33 There are a couple of easy mods to clean up a muddy bottom end. You can add a choke or a solid-state rectifier quite easily. You can also change the values of the coupling caps too. There are many mods for this amp that are very easy to do.
one of the best marshall sounds i ever heard was playing thru a ceriatone 18w (with rectifier tube) in a 1974x replica cabinet with a G12H anniversary speaker using an ultimate attenuator... fucken awesome man!! u will be surprised how many E and A chords u do over and over again cos it sounds so fucken kick ass... Just to let u know i blew my output transformer shortly after that
@Kristianeb ive been buying/using/selling peavey transtubes, marshall mg's, JCM800, dsl's, mesa boogie rectifiers. They all sound both good and bad in their own way. But wasnt until I played a 18w ceriatone in a 1974x combo with a G12H 30th Anniversary speaker cranked through an ultimate attenuator I was blown away literally. You can just sit there and strum an A chord over and over again and be in awe everytime!
The settings are as following, normal channel volume on 10 tone about 7, At about 0:16 of the clip, i kick in a maxon 808 with the level crank and gain about 9 oclock, this is what pushes it into more of a jcm 800 tone, enjoy
this one sounds by far better than any of the others! Any mods or extra tubes? see you are in the right side input while others are on left? same channel right. great tone

you can buy one from nik (you can also get a combo enclosure) or you can do it yourself. I dont know what jasonguitar did but if you are considering one you can have it any way you like it.
Great amp. Did you build it? I'm planning a 18 watt project. I'm looking to replicate the 1974x as close as possible without spending 2300 on a new one. I've looked at MOJO, Weber, Ceriatone etc. Any advice?
George's Metro amps have more expensive parts because they are better parts and they sound more authentic to the vintage amps they were meant to duplicate. You get what you pay for.
True but George only offers a 50w plexi, 1002 plexi, or JTM45, so the 18watt is best bought from Ceriatone. Now jason, did you wire this yourself or did you buy it pre-wired?
I gotta tell ya, I just got a Ceriatone 18-Watt TMB delivered today, and I took it down to Guitar Center and played it head to head with a combo version (I played through a 2X12 V-30 cabinet) and I can honestly say this amp KICKS SERIOUS A-S, and almost identical in nature to the REAL $2300 Marshall (I paid $885for mine, handmade and delivered from MALAYSIA in LESS than 2 weeks flat!). No joke! Put a Marshall Sticker on it, no one would know!
At first I felt that my 18w ceriatone didnt have enough gain. But that's going back to marshalls from mesas. There is absolutely no fizzy distortion just thick power tube breakup thats extremely addictive. All you need is an attenuator and a G12H (this combination will still sound good thru a shit guitar). My 18w totally blows my original 100w JCM800 away in terms of clarity and quality of sound.
This was wired by ceriatone. I however did replace The OT because it went bad. otherwise stock ceriatone 18 watt TMB. the recording isnt quite all amp though. it is my 61 reissue gibson SG with a dimarzio tonezone pickup.
the first 15 seconds is just the amp with volume at about 8 and tone at 8. at 15 seconds in the clip I turm on a maxon 808 with the volume cranked and the gain ony turned up a tiny bit, this takes it over the edge!!
What would be the reason for using a distortion or OD pedal in an amp like this? No talen pedals needed.

The GDS kit will get you the closest to a vintage 1974. A Soultone kit will get you the closest to a 1974x reissue.
