Hope yours is still going well.
The basic circuit is unaffected but there's an added mid boost switch, a negative feedback defeat, and a master volume. With the MV fully up, it us transparent to the circuit, so you get the original amp unchanged, but can rein in the volume when required, accessing all the lovely fruitless you get from this type of amp when cranked.
Tech-heads will note the valve rectifier from the 6G6, whilst the bulk of the preamp is from the more developed 6G6-B.
A really satisfying amp to build and play, resplendent in smooth blonde
Ah nivver kent yon aire wis a min ootbye Turra fa gart bespoke amplification!
Ah hiv seen aathin' noo...
Div ye maak a vertical 2 x 12 speaker cabinet?
Aye aye ma loon,
DDig
Fit like DDig?
Yep, I'm out here in the fields with the coos!
(I'll not do the Doric...I'm married to a local quine, so I'm ok understanding, but my speaking is saved for private! )
And yes, I do vertical cabinets, either properly vertical like a 2x12 on its side, or diagonal like a small 4x12.
Cheers!
Amp build quality looks fabulous. Unfortunately, I have just bought an amp, but I may need a cab...
Cheers,

This rig was shipped out a while back. Looking cool in denim blue and gold, it's an Electra Twang, with a preamp based on the Blackface Twin, and 50 Watts from 2x6L6s.
The 2x12 cab has G12M Creamback speakers, and is set up to be used vertically or horizontally.
Soundwise, it's the area between clean ns overdrive that this amp loves. Obviously with 50 Watts it can do a crystal clean, but the master volume means you can dial in just the right amount of compression and grit at any volume. The full on overdrive is great too, not something you'd normally associate with a BF Twin, but the MV allows you to explore that too.
It's an L6-40 combo, which is 40W from 2x6L6, Marshall-ish preamp, but this is a single Blues mode amp, so think JTM45.
It has Power Scaling, but otherwise is fairly simple, and the speaker is a G12M Creamback.
The covering is brown alligator, which is complimented by grill cloth with a gold fleck, and cream piping.
Oh well; he who dares, wins!
Great work as ever ;-)

I've had a couple recently that have been unusual finishes, and it's nice to see how well they've worked out. I'm boring and rely on my customers to push the boundaries for me!

Would someone like yourself make a PR type amp in the same ballpark price wise or would it be a case of doubling that?
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
I can also do electronic clones with tweaks if you fancied something tailored.
Drop me an email if you're interested.
Cheers!

Will drop you a note before I buy anything.

Last chance at the old prices!
First is a Goldstar, lovely in Blonde with round cream knobs. This one has valve/spring reverb, but is otherwise standard.
And of course these are true point-to-point:
I do like the updated styling on your current builds.
The leather handles and new font on the faceplate look really smart.
As you may have seen on the website, MJW Amplification is currently closed, and I have decided to formally cease trading with effect from 1st December 2019.
Since the short break in 2017, and after relocating, it has been a fair bit quieter on the new builds side, coupled with very little service work in this neck of the woods.
I no longer have the enthusiasm to reinvigorate the business, and this was very much a thing that ran on enthusiasm. Now seems like a good time to bow out and enter semi-retirement!
There are a very small number of amps still under warranty, and the owners of those have my contact details. My amps are mostly quite simple, so local techs should have no trouble with them, and I will still be able to provide support to techs if required, but I soon won't be able to do any serious work myself as I will be decommissioning my workshop (amplifier-wise) and selling remaining stock.
So, just over 12 years, 240 amps and cabs, thousands of repairs; who'd have thought it when I had various conversations with a work colleague (Joe P!) In 2006 followed by a redundancy that it would lead to this.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me with their custom and friendship over the years. All the very best for the future.
All the best to you in your semi-retirement.
