This Orion and 2x12 is forum member @ennspek so I thought I'd put up a little report so you can see what's going on (amongst other things) here at MJW.
It's a classic Orion, with 4 x KT66, cathode biased for 45W clean, with a JTM45-ish clean channel and a JMP-Plexi style overdrive, with an extra gain stage that switches in making it much like a JCM800, but with a variable boost level. This particular one has Power Scaling, and the addition of dual master volumes (foot-switchable, along with channel and boost).
Both channels have bright switches, and the SDM Zero Loss loop is standard.
The speakers in the cab are Celestion G12M-65 Creambacks.
Finished in white with black trim and a purple jewel lamp. Supplied with free Roqsolid covers.
Base theme by DesignModo & ported to Powered by Vanilla by Chris Ireland, modified by the "theFB" team.

I had a look at Martin's page and fell back on looking at the pictures of the Taranis. I'd have to start up a new doom band to justify an amp like that but it'd be worth it.
Great work from Martin as ever with the Orion. I love the looks of big bottle valves like Kt66's as well.
I'm 99% sure my next amp will be MJW, though more likely a single channel, less face-melting spec!

But then everyone would know all my secrets!
I'll put some up later. Should I goop it?
The heatsink and fan are for the Power Scaling mosfets. The heatsink is probably a little bit OTT with an aluminium chassis. The fan even moreso!
Yes
Looks great - nice spec!
I want to see the purple light switched on lol. And - the plexi and JCM stages for different gain levels lol.
@ennspek - I hope you do a demo of this!
@simonk... dare you share your vision?

Similar to Thorpy's Orion but a 1x12 combo with Neo Creamback, 2x EL34's for 50w, blackface inspired clean channel, JCM800 inspired crunch channel with a footswitchable boost that takes it into SLO territory. Can't bloody wait!
