The JCM800 Micro: Version Two

Before I discovered the unbypassed cathode resistor issue on my first JCM800 Micro amp , I started version two of the design using two 12AU7 tubes in parallel. My intent was to build a combo amplifier with the same great tone but a bit more power. This was a special build meant as a birthday gift for my friend from Riverview, NB, the very person who suggested I switch from tube radio repair to guitar amps.
