Can we talk about speakers for a minute?

I will contact him. He had one in the fancy brown leather, but he was quite proud of it. Perhaps a Tonkraf version rather that the more exotic Audio Eyra.

i ordered two of the Scholz Alnico 12" speakers. looking forward to these. Though not quite as much as the 15".

I am considering ordering a 1x15 cab to match my JKL. Not sure it needs to match, but…

 

[beckstriad]

that would be awesome. i need to get tim to make me a 1x12 with just standard black tolex to use as a utility cab. i have a 1x15 mojotone and it sounds ok, but tim's cabs add another dimension to amps.

Tim’s made all kinds of cool matching cans for the JKLs. Hasn’t done a 15 yet. I was waiting for these speakers to come to get a 15 cab match for my JKL too.

This was a smaller headshell and cab someone wanted for gigging.

 

[willie k]

Yes, the JKL head is large. Actually a friend stopped by and upon entering my music room asked me when I got a Friedman. I explained that is was not, in fact, a Friedman.

Lol

Love the look of that.

I have those things. I'm going to put two of the alnico sugarcones in the 2x12 to go along with the two 15" alnico sugarcones I ordered.

 

[Voodoosound]

You aren’t likely to see this again. Except for Tim. I’ve never seen this before and have been buying up speakers since I was 12. Each speaker, inspected and proved with frequency specs by Tim himself. As well as taking the time to notate what speaker by serial. Each one must meet or exceed the spec of the protos. He’s had to reject a couple so far from what he said.

I have ordered a 1x15 cab to match my JKL. Tim is optimizing dimensions today. Should be awesome, and is reasonably priced. Can’t wait!

That Jose is a beast to haul to gigs or studios.

i bet so. i have only owned one friedman amp and that thing was heavy.

 

[Voodoosound]

Yeah the only pitfall of doing a Marshall “like” box is they get pigeon holed into an over saturated Marshall box market. The very reason the aesthetic look of this amp was matched as closely as possible (minus the 2 leather handles and Bakelite knobs) to the original 63 offset.

It’s a very classy look and not one company even Marshall has ever reissued or copied it correctly. Regarding the Bakelite knobs. They were left out due to the need for concentric pots in the volume positions. Otherwise they would’ve been used. The brown leather strap handles not being used was a logical improvement.

I can pretty much guarantee that no other Marshall box has as much detail and design considerations going into it for historical accuracy. Tim spared no expense building these even down to the leather covering and original nos pilot light.

simply one of the best amps ever built and looks as good as it sounds.

 

[willie k]

Oh yes, absolutely gorgeous. I am drooling waiting on my matching cab.

 

[Mojo]

Here’s the 1x15…. Waiting for one to land here in ETX.

Are you pairing it up with the JKM?

Are you pairing it up with the JKM?

The plan is to use it with the JKL, which I had asked Tim to build one for 2-3 weeks ago. I also envision running the Instigator and OG+ through it, too. I’ve always loved 15” cabs. Looking forward to seeing how the AEC-15 stacks up to my SRO, Altec 418-8B and EV 15L cabs. I’m sure it will be spectacular!
