Helmut Wiegand from Germany
I built the LW 6L6SE Harmonica Amp twice! First time was right after I saw the schematic
(long before the introduction was available). It turns out great!! It looks like a small Masco Head (ME-8).
I built it from the scratch with a Hammond 1441 chassis (black steel, 10 X 6 X 2). It fits a little bit tight,
but I think it`s better to have short wire links. Iron is Hammond, too. They`re easy to get in Germany
and I like the quality. Funny, I use a smaller OT than adviced in your costruction manual. Hammond
125 DSE insted of 125 ESE (Weber cloned it as WSE), but the amp sounds fantastic. The second Amp,
which I finished a week ago, has the WSE15 OT. Both amps sounds very good. The amp with Weber OT
produce a little bit more bass. The other with Hammond OT sounds a little bit more aggressive. It`s just
a matter of taste... Kind regards, Helmut

I used a Jensen C8R, 4 Ohm in a single speaker cabinet. Mic was a Astatic Velvet Voice (S200) with crystal element - same as JT30!
