The "RK45" is a replica of the mid 60's JTM 45™.   Unlike the reissue, this amp is hand wired point to point on a vintage style turret board and is built to the exact specs of the original.  The output tranny built for me by heyboer with the 8k primary plate load is optimal for the kt-66 power tubes. As in the originals, the filtering in the first cap is a double 32mf cap and the second is a double 16mf cap.

This amp uses the early "plexi" tone control values along with the standard preamp values. You can also order this amp with the optional negative feedback control adjustable from the stock 27k to 77k (mounted on back of amp).  This will give you more or less power amp gain.  Eric Clapton Beano tone to AC/DC, its all here.
