This is a JTM 45 "Bluesbreaker" combo replica built in 2016. Steve Hunter "Thee Electrik Church" built the amp which is housed in a Swanson Type I blues breaker cab with a block logo installed. The cabinet has Eric Collins Bluesbreaker cloth. The amp has Chris Merren transformers (Drake) which are now impossible to get as far as I know, and regarded as the most vintage accurate iron. I provided Steve with NOS tubes and NOS mustard caps, and he lovingly built the amp for me back in 2016. Sad to say, right after the amp was built the blues project I was working on fell through and therefore the amp has only about 3 hours total on it. The speakers (Scumback S75 PVC) aren't even broken in. Cabinet is in pretty much mint condition except for a small patch of covering missing (see photo). $3000 net to me for local pickup, will ship but need to work that out with buyer.

Apologies, my photos were too large to upload they can be found at the Reverb listing Here

Specs as follows:

No Trem

NOS GEC KT66 tubes

NOS preamp tubes

Chris Merren output and power transformers (Drake)

Metro chassis

NOS mustard caps

Brown phenolic board

NOS Allen-Bradley Resistors

NOS Piher Resistors

NOS Bulgin power connectors

Cabinet: Swanson Type I blues breaker with Eric Collins Bluesbreaker cloth
Speakers: Scumback S75 PVC 20 W

Gut shots can be seen on Steve's FB page here: Gut Shots


I can send the full valvestorm parts list if needed. Would prefer a local pickup anywhere near Philly if possible, will drive a reasonable distance to meet up. Will ship but will need to work that out if needed.

I just had this amp looked over by Rick Emory (Main Line Music) and it is in great shape and sounds AMAZING.
