Richie	Re: Any one ever build a plexi head? The difference in the sound of a plexi and bassman,Alot depends on alot of things ,the transformer as Speedracer and others have found will make a difference. It depends on what guitar to what speakers are used. I built some plexis from old sunn amps.. And they use dynaco transformers.And sound great I have used the generic OT from new Sensor. 2,4,8, ohm taps.. in plexis clones.. and have good results with them.They breakup a little more when overdriven.But a good sound. i have used an Ampeg.. well i tried many different ones.If you build the plexi it will still have the overall sound of one. Tubes used will make a difference.. I use EL34.. tubes..The Marshall Jtm 45. was more a knockoff of the bassman amp. With little changes that have been posted. {~}==::: Richie
