Thought about that already. Need to sell a few (North American) domestic models first, then reorder transformers for both sides of the pond.

You're on your own for that one :? .

Clips are in the works. The prototype of this amp was played extensively at the Vintage Hiwatt Convention this summer. Rave reviews at that time and the final version should prove to be even better :mrgreen: .

Are you going to offer the single 12 combo like what was at the convention?

That JP 30 watt prototype in 1x12 combo really shined at the convention. Then, Mark plugged the amp into a HITONE 4x12...whoa awesome.

Meaning you'd like to buy a 1x12 combo in kit form?

There are a couple of wrinkles in that concept to iron out. If we know there's demand, we'll look into it further.

I have a AP504 completed and a 504 kit that is yet to be built.............ONE of them will be sold in the very near future. (Keep your eyes on the for sale forum) Proceeds from that sale will go to fund a combo just like what you put in front of Danny and I back at the convention...I would really rather buy the thing in kit form as I enjoy building these as much as I do playing thru them...

You guys are like crack dealers..........the first hit was free, and now I am hooked... :lol:

By the way-

I am not sure how your short sighted speaker manufacturer could keep you from selling the 1X12 combo cabinet with a Hi-tone speaker installed as a line item upon itself.

What difference would that be then selling a 2X12 Cab or a 4X12 Cab????

That's what we're trying to resolve. There's also the logistics, timing and expense of the cabinets themselves to consider.

Don't give up hope just yet :) .

Hey Mark,

What tubes did you have in the JP 30w combo during the convention? KT77s?
