Presenting a Genuine, Hand built, all valve, Made in Australia JTM 45 guitar amp. Originally rated at 30W, this build is a true 45 watts RMS into 8 ohms at 1% distortion (with approx 54 watts RMS at Clipping). Think of words like seminal, most desirable, and then do yourself a favour and google JTM 45..... To get a vintage sound you need vintage parts not just a vintage circuit. Uses fabulous Military CV4060s (KT66s) and radiometal output transformer Aussie made 3-4 week build time JTM 45 MK-II Comes complete with a full set of premium 3 x Mullard ECC81 valves made at Philips Hendon South Australia, and Military KT66 STC CV4060 output valves NOS 1960s; includes Semco Silver mica capacitors. These are all premium tubes made in Australia or the UK - all NOS !!! Why buy a ROLA hand built amp?   Most resistors and caps are 50's 60's 70's vintage from IRH and Philips/Semco  Gold turret pins Gold CNC machined pin valve sockets ALPS A2 studio grade pots 5AS4 upgraded rectifier HT electrolytics are new stock low ESR Sockets are new stock ceramics, NOS McMurdo vintage 50's on request  High build quality built for long service not a few years like modern PCB amps  Great value for money (military long life NOS valves included in each amp) All Australian build from local components  Unbeatable sound qualities Quality output transformer Fully customisable not mass produced in a sweat shop Trusted ROLA brand 20% deposit – Full Payment required only when the amp is ready to ship   What does Brett Kingman think? See video review below: Other custom options available eg: ·         New - all valve Power Scaling Option - $600 ·         Master Volume (on back panel) - $69 ·         A/B footswitch jack (on back panel) - $69 ·         FX loop jack (insertion point between preamp and power amp stage - on back panel) - $69 ·         EQ frequencies optimised for Gibson (Fender EQ standard) - POA ·         switchable 4,8,16 ohm provided as standard - different speaker impedance - POA ·         other NOS valves and more, just ask – maker is always happy to quote and discuss any changes.   Shipping: The amp will come crated and packed in a custom MDF box to ensure no shipping damage. Delivery charge will vary according to location and will be quoted - typically $98 via courier within Australia. Local pickup is OK as well (Adelaide).   From the maker: Here it is my latest creation the famous JTM45 KT66 version limited edition, all hand wired point to point on turret boards as shown in the photos. Unlike modern mass produced amps full of dry joints and mechanical reliability issues, this amp is built using traditional 50's wiring - not a printed circuit board in sight, hand laced wiring, every component tied off on the turret board before being soldered. Dynamic matched and demagnetised valves, lots of NOS valve options for customers to audition before purchase and more. Each one of these amps takes 40 hours to build. I will never get rich building them but it sure is rewarding and after 50 years of building valve amps I still get a kick out of every one I build going to a good home.  The output transformer is custom wound and uses 20% radiometal core material so it naturally compresses instead of clipping like modern ones, this is the way 1950's output transformers behaved. You can't go out and buy radiometal as it has not been produced for nearly 60 years, it can only be recycled from 1940's and 1950's transformers and then new GOSS core hydrocut to the same dimensions, the net result is an output transformer about twice the size of modern ones (just look at the photos - most 30w output transformers are 1/2 to 1/3rd this size. Each output transformer weighs around 5.5 pounds (2.5kg). Like the original it uses a 5AR4 rectifier and a quality filter choke in the power supply. Output impedance is selectable for 4,8,16 ohms and if you want to use a couple of odd impedance cabs let me know as I custom make the output transformers and can wire speaker sockets to suit any weird combination you may have.  Amps are built using RF grade Semco silver mica 70's capacitors made from now totally unavailable Ruby Mica, each one silver dipped and epoxy coated, each capacitor installed with care ensuring the orientation to minimise noise and circuit coupling. IRH Australia vintage 50's carbon composition resistors (precision German made Byscfhlag or Rhoderstein metal film where IRH values are not available), Gold plated input sockets (plated here in Australia with 10 microns gold), Bakelite knobs with allen head grub screws, hand made turret boards, solid silver Teflon (Aviation grade Tefzel) hookup wire, Plexi front and rear panels reverse silk screened and reverse coated in gold paint, not a low cost laser engraved panel. Unlike todays production amps using PCBs designed to last only 3 years, these amps are hand built to last 50 years. All amps are wired as they were made in the 50's and 60's, on a solid punched aluminium chassis with TIG welded corners. The amp cab is made from ply, with a high quality non covered version using Australian solid timbers an option. The head comes complete with a full 12 month RTB (Adelaide) warranty, and after warranty support. the amp includes 3 x Mullard ECC81's made at Philips Hendon South
