Some of my valve junior conversions

[TWANG]

my first two.. several years ago.



my first try at making my own board..



found myself hooked!



but still no excuse for the spaghetti!



snakeskin! with black fangs!



start messing with everything!



starting to get carried away..

[TWANG]

this way?



or this way?



but people like them



red pearl not for everyone



why not 18 watts?



el34 power tube?



and another

[TWANG]

6V6 top. EL34 bottom



tweed deluxe started. no pics.
a new 18 watt. scratch build parts



most get sold. but sometimes I have plenty to jam on!

[TWANG]

mod a peavey delta blues.. ok.

[TWANG]

kustom introduces their five watt.. which I change right away.

[TWANG]

blackhearts.. may as well try them too.

I'll clean this up later, sez me



and ready to rock. with two power tubes

[TWANG]

I like tubes!!

[Steve Conner]

Great stuff! The tortoiseshell front panels definitely add some class.

I have a question for you - Is the Valve Jr combo cabinet made of real wood, or particle board? I know the head is particle board.

[TWANG]

It's 13 ply birch plywood. head and cabinet.
all of them I've torn into anyway.

[Steve Conner]

Oh cool, that makes them even more tempting. I hate particle board and MDF.

Is that an Antek toroidal PT I saw in one of your earlier pics?

[TWANG]

Yes that's an 18 watt build... just coming down to the wire so to speak..
needs wired up and assembled.
