If that's the Bass Gear Mag review of the HBP-1/800D, it's posted on p. 20/post #400 of this thread.
Hey guys, here's a quick video. I was in a rush, but hopefully it'll give you an idea
I have put JJ valves in my amp, replacing the Rubys that came as stock.
Thanks. Very Nice - especially with the dark switch engaged - beefy!
I don't think the J48 has a Jensen transformer.

41 days since I phoned in my deposit. I can't remember the last time I was this excited for an amp.
And it builds daily! Here's to hoping I get the call soon.

I also want to add that I emailed JD soon after I got my amp and asked him about running it without any speaker load as there is no master volume to turn down or switch to turn the power amp off.
I think I asked, "Can I run it as a pre-amp only without any speaker load?"
Inline with his typically short emails, he responded "no load - no problem"
PS. I am still a little weary of this as I have seen A/B transistor amps start to smoke when there is no load on them, but I do trust Mr. Demeter's knowledge of this subject.

Guess it will be awhile before mine arrives, then. Odd thing is both Paypal and my bank account reflect my payment in full for the amp, but when I log into my Demeter account there is no indication I've ordered anything. I guess I'll wait another week and then give them a call to make sure everything went through correctly.
Just got my M800D back from Mike. Been playing it non stop! It's quiet as a church mouse and kicks like a mule!
Ordered mine on 3/13. I spoke to James last week and he said I was fourth in line with two going out each week. He said to figure another two to three weeks.
Here's a picture of the M800D on top of a Audiokinesis Hathor 1203s. Really love the tone , power , and portability .
+100 for the Jensen, guys! I've now used it to DI to FOH. The soundman was happy with the clean sound. I've also had one very short session recording, using the Jensen out. Solid, clean, full sound. This is going to get some very serious use when I get my studio back up and running.
I tried emailing once and got no reply. Was told their email system was VERY wonky.
OTOH, I've called three times and someone's picked up every time.
