JB, '78 Thru Bray 4550 Plexi Head
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share this clip of 2 popular Duncans thru a Bray 4550 plexi head.
This particular amp has the Plus mode wired up for a Mick Mars type (first section). First half is a Les Paul w/ Duncan JB-bridge (bridge) and a PRS McCarty (neck). Second half is a Strat w/ a Duncan '78.

I'd forgotten how effective a JB can be.
Enjoy!

That sounds amazing. I have always liked what I heard from your amps. Unfortunately I'll probably never be able to afford one

Don't worry, I can't afford one, either

I was looking at your JTM45 clone and heard this clip last time I was on your website. It sounds killer.

Mucho appreciato.
That was an interesting one, in that Jeff wanted both a somewhat true JTM45 sound, as well as a screaming Eddie type thing, a bit of a challenge, since there are some opposing forces in what makes those two sounds happen, the biggest being the output transformer.
I ended up going with a custom OT that was more toward a JTM45, voiced the amp to do a decent version of both, then used some bright and gainy KT66s for the added top end needed on the overdrive to pull it out of bluesville when pushed. That was a fun build, for sure. Thank you for checking it out.

Impressive as always.
For him who struck thy foreign string,
I ween this heart hath ceased to care;
Then why dost thou such feelings bring
To my sad spirit - old Guitar?
Even so, Guitar, thy magic tone
Hath moved the tear and waked the sigh;
Hath bid the ancient torrent moan
Although its very source is dry.

This is another, finished last night, same guitars.
Les Paul w/ the Duncan JB (McCarty neck on the intro), Strat w/ '78, back to LP w/ JB again at the end. I enjoyed using the JB for the AC/DC by backing off the mids on the amp.
