JGR's 1200 watt micro - let the madness begin!!!!!

There is a Guitar and Bass Expo on the 23rd of August in Reading, PA. Mike and Pete will be showing their products.
Ah, yes. I remember hearing about this now. There's about a 0.03% chance I could make it, but I'm sure it will be cool! I haven't played Pete's basses (though a lot of folks obviously think highly of them), but I can say that if you're in the area and haven't tried one of Mike's cabs, you owe it to yourself to go! If Jonathan's amp's there, too, it'll be a treat.
 
the funny part is that i look at "12-14" pounds and think

"damn, thats heavy"

how quickly things change...

Heh. I own the Aguilar TH500: 5 pounds, small enough to carry with two fingers, an honest 500 watts. Sounds nice, but as noted my ears are spoiled by JGR audio technology. Even at my advanced age I think I can handle a little extra bulk and 7 extra pounds. I want a micro that pleases my ears as much as my creaky old back!
 
Plinking away in the basement. Starting on the front panel controls and then the board.

Got a little marathon session done - pots are wired and the board is pretty much built. Since I don't have the custom inductors yet, I'll pull from the proto for now so I can button this thing up. Time for bed.

Very clean layout and attention to detail. Don't know how you do it with a baby at home. You must have an understanding wife and not get much sleep.

I just got a shipment notification for my inductors which are slated for delivery next Thursday. Doesn't leave me much time before Redding on Sat but I'm going to try to get it up and running tonight with the ones from the proto and I'll drop the new ones in if I have time. Drinking coffee (been up since since 5am with the little one) then heading down to the lab....
