Marshall

N5X British Overdrive amplifier part 2

I found a second hand Wide Body Mesa Boogie Mark IV combo housing and ordered a corresponding
Aluminum Chassis Mesa Width Style and got some special delivered chassis straps for it and put the DIY Ampmaker NX5 inside

combined with a B-Stock 12 inch 16Ohm Celestion G12H anniversary speaker
for now running with a Mesa 12AX7 and a JJ EL844 ?

One of its greatest features, is the Power pot, a VCB/VVR voltage control kit going from 256 Volts at maximum to 21 Volts at minimum (actual measurements), making overdriving the tubes by diming both Gain and Master pots a breeze, for tasty rock sounds in the living room.

It will pair up with my Marshall DSL-5CR

This was a fun and educational (9 months!) build !

15-Watt All-Tube Amplifier

Egnater Tweaker Head

The Tweaker is an ultra compact and amazingly versatile all-tube amp that offers a unique and sophisticated tone with seemingly endless tonal variations via the on-board “Tweaker” selector switches. Powered by a pair of 6V6 power tubes, the TWEAKER will set the new standard for gigging micro amps. The gain, EQ and master sections each have a Tweaker switch providing a wide-range of tones from the ultra smooth and satisfying to fully over-saturated lead tones.

Are you a tweaker?
Hidden inside the TWEAKER is a vast array of tones not usually found in amps this compact. Each of the five toggle switches on the front change the character of the amp. The TIGHT and BRIGHT switches shape the low and high end from soft and smooth to punchy and aggressive. The GAIN switch goes from sparkly clean to an all out high-gain assault.

The EQ switch lets you select from pristine American to classic Brit and even the elusive VX AC sound. The CLASSIC/MODERN voicing switch allows you to select either soft and smooth or hard and edgy power tube tone. It’s all in there to satisfy the ultimate “Tweaker”.

Tweaker Features and Information:
15 Watts Amplifier, 2 x 6V6 Power Tubes, 3 x 12AX7 Pre-amp Tubes, Master Volume, Gain and 3-Band EQ, Modern/Vintage Amp, Voicing Switch, Buffered Effects Loop, Selectable AC, British and American Tone Controls, Clean/Hot Gain Selector, Tight & Bright Voicing Switches, 100V / 115V / 230V Switchable, 14″ (L) x 8.25″ (W) x 6.75 (H)

Marshall JVMC212 Extension Cabinet

The ultimate portable JVM extension cabinet, previously known as the TSLC212, the JVMC212 150w cabinet will give you more creative control over the appearance of your rig. It maintains that classic Marshall tone with one G12 Heritage and one G12 Vintage Celestion speaker. Where the Heritage offers a punchy, brighter sound, the Vintage has a more rounded midrange. Wherever you go – this cabinet is powerful but lightweight with full-size carry handles for easy transport, making it a great investment if you play at a variety of venues.

The JVMC212 cab is constructed from the finest Baltic birch plywood in the Marshall UK factory and hand covered in traditional and hard wearing elephant grained vinyl covering. This is a 2×12″ extension cabinet that feels larger than life in the way only Marshall knows how to do. The Marshall JVMC212 speaker cabinet is suitable for most amp heads.

Tonal excellence – the two different speakers, heritage and vintage, give a deep tone to your sound as well as delivering that unparalleled Marshall volume. Speakers aren’t just there to move air, they’re an integral part of an amplifier’s tonal voice. After exhaustive testing of every speaker available, all agreed that the pairing of a Marshall/Celestion ‘Heritage’ with a Marshall/Celestion ‘Vintage’ was the only way to go as the combination produces a fantastic depth and breadth of sound while maintaining a tight, musical response and a solid low-end thump.
