Introduction
As Jim has already stated, our goal, when building this limited edition, offset reissue, was simple. To make it as
close to the original as humanly possible! To this end we have gone to great lengths to recreate every single aspect
and specification of this visually and aurally striking item-from sourcing an exact replica of the original coffin logo (so
called because it was first made for us by a coffin manufacturer!), to ensuring that the output and power transformers
boast the same exact core lamination materials as they did back in 1962. Likewise, the amplifier circuit itself is hand-
wired on a hand-built tagboard, the chassis is constructed from aluminium and the valve complement is 3 x ECC83s
in the preamp, a GZ34 rectifier and a pair of KT66s in the power amp - just like the original.
We are delighted to report that many of our suppliers went to the same exacting lengths as we did when providing
us with parts for this reissue, and none-more-so than Celestion. Thanks to their commitment to this project they
successfully recreated the Alnico magnet, silver G12, model T0652 loudspeakers found in our museum piece-right
the way down to matching the same exact colours and lettering fonts used on the original label!
As is the case with all our amplifiers, the best way for you to truly appreciate this remarkable reissue is to grab
your favourite guitar, plug it in and play. Enjoy!
JTM45 O/S Front and Rear Panel Features
Front Panel Functions
The JTM45 O/S features four inputs, two per channel. The first channel is voiced for a high treble response with the
second channel voiced for normal response. The first input of each channel has more gain than the second input of
each channel and hence is louder. Though the first input of the first channel is the input that most guitarists use,
don’t hesitate to experiment. Some guitar players prefer to mix
the two channels by putting a patch lead between the second
input of channel 1 and the first input of channel 2 and then plug
their guitar into the first input of channel 1. Doing this allows
you to mix the different tonal characters of each channel for
greater flexibility.
