I used a vertical mount MOD tank in mine. It mounts on the front wall of the cabinet and the connectors point up. I find it to have a little better sound and fit and less noise than the horizontal bottom mount Accutronics the kit came with.

I am not disputing this, but why then are there holes and grommets in the chassis for the PT wires? Very counterintuitive if you ask me.

Now I have to move it. Oh joy. Weber included the two large grommets for the PT wires, so I just assumed it mounted on the outside. Guess not.

johno9 was good to start a new thread for his own matter. And very well I would say. Including a schematic to reference and reports on voltages, etc.

With a pedal board feeding the input there is breakup/clipping when reverb is brought up with the Mix control. it seems to be accentuated with the Tone control in the treble region. I don't notice it with my Strat plugged straight in, but it does appear with a Les Paul & humbuckers.
Voltages are all on the high side - PS point A-344VDC, point B-289VDC, heaters at 6.7VAC. Can the OP give me measured voltages from his unit?
Thanks

As Enzo stated. A new thread is best for individual matters. You could simply "link" this thread as a reference to the OP and questions directly related to this thread.

Hi John.
Please start a new thread for your repair. It gets confusing talking about more than one unit in a thread.

I'm first and foremost a player, and tinkerer/modder/amateur repairman second, and I've found that my playing has really suffered due to too much time spent endlessly tweaking stuff trying to obtain some 'grail tone'. Lately I've been playing a lot more and getting back into transcribing some more challenging lead work a la Steve Lukather, through my JCM900 with minor tweaks. My fear is that I could end up disappearing down some flux-fume-induced wormhole and spend my whole time wondering if I did it right and whether it sounds 'just like the pro's ones'.
But you know what, I've been looking at the Mojotone kit and for the price it would be a more sensible option than buying a used reissue with a PCB and maybe I should shut up and build the damn thing already.

I built mine as my first project. I'd messed with mods and repairs on lots of Marshalls, but never built an amp from scratch. I figured, what the hell? Might as well go all-in. It was tough but very rewarding, and it turned out great. It gets used and abused a lot. I built it as a head because I'm not into combos...and I got a bunch of 4x12 cabs already.
