The Power Station should be sitting on top of the amp head because there are ventilation holes for a reason. It will generate heat while in operation.

@@groundzeroampworks780 That's even better....absolutely beautiful, brother. You absolutely crushed it with this build. I don't know what's done per-se to get an amp to sound "percussive", but that is the defining characteristic of Marshall-esq builds. The more "throaty" and percussive the better.....reminds me a bit of the Helios. Not more gain, just more percussion and punch. The fact that you do it without making the amp sound "nasally" (which is very common, for some reason), makes it even better. Great job!

I think there’s no way around it since you’re attenuating it down so far. In other words how do you A/B the tone with a cranked Plexi and no attenuator vs one with the volume brought down? The dynamics always change with volume. But either way, there’s no arguing that NMV amps sound amazing with them.

I'v done a few Jose's upon requests, and some of Cameron's other work with my ear tweaking for my sonic pocket. I ask because my lady bought me a 1968 10,000 series Super Tremolo. Its a 9.5 out of 10. Very clean. I'm changing the filtering 1968SL Specs as they were different. In fact this is a early transition model with gold still on the white logo. The give away is that all four board caps are dual 40uf that were only in a couple of months. I'm #2 on a list at zZOUNDS for the Fryette PS 100. Might be a while as I hear Stevie Fryete is moving his shop. Anyway thank you. Don't be a stranger.
