Germino Lead 55 (JTM45 mod) & 2x12 Cab (or no cab for less $600)

Important: So I love fine tuning things. I felt the Lead 55 was slightly too hot for me. Steve Hunter, amp tech (R.E.M. and more), made a minor switch to bring this amp to the JTM45 tone. I was looking for that Marshall "crackle" and this totally did it. Still super ballsy but slightly less hot than the stock L55. 

This boutique hand-wired head is based on the 50 watt Marshall plexis of the late 60s/early 70s.  

Output transformer is a Drake 784-139 replica with 3.3K primary impedance. Original style laminate is used with correct slotted steel and correct "cheese head" screws. Primary and secondary windings are interleaved as originals. Speaker output is selectable for 16/8/4 ohms.

 Component list is the same as our other products. Spot welded aluminum chassis,  carbon film and NOS carbon comp resistors, Mil spec potentiometers,  F&T filter capacitors. Film/foil  "vintage mustard style" coupling caps all hand wired on turret board.

2X12 Cabinet loaded with: 2 Warehouse Speakers: 1. ET65 and 2. a killer Blackhawk HP Alnico 100W
