Another DOA #tubeamprepair -- Very con-FUSING repair. The stock fuse holder indicated 2A and nothing else, suggesting it was the mains fuse, leading to confusion on the values by previous owners. Stock of the shelf JJ EL34's are a recipe for disaster in 100W #Marshall type topologies, they do sell EL34L's which are suited. First filter cap was completely toast after running it with a faulty tube and a massive fuse. All filter caps were replaced by new Tube Amp Doctor shizzlenizzle caps...
The presence, mid and treble controls in this amp all had 1M pot, completely compromising the performance of the amp. Loose pots and ungrounded input jacks were fixed, leaky coupling caps replaced. Cathode resistor and bypass capacitor on the power tubes replaced. Mains fuse mounted on the chassis.
Demo tracks were recorded in Garageband, using Captor and Cabinet Simulation software, but running the amp at 85% gain.
There are quite a few of these amp around here in the Low Countries, and prices aren't that spectacular. A simple retube for this amp with somewhat decent tubes would be just under €200... you could almost buy a second hand Boss Katana for that kind of money.
