I built a JTM45 and got a bunch of help on it on the forums.. Its actually the best amp i have now (prob ever), and it made me a bit cocky to try another.. I played a super 5f4 narrow tweed fender years ago, and to this day i remember how good that amp sounded and was going to try to build one the way i built the JTM with the best components i can find.. SO.. i have the heyboer transformers, a mojotone small parts kit and chassis, and some old capacitors and resistors and tubes ... I have spent some time looking for a choke and oh boy there is a ton of different viewpoints on where it is placed in the circuit and size etc.. The super i would like to have some headroom and sound like the orignal i had my hands on.. SO W ho makes the closest choke to the original, and what chokes will sound great in this amp, or any other filtering ideas you may have.. Thank you

Did you ever figure out what choke you needed? I built the Mojotone version, they supply a Heyboer choke. Headroom is pretty good, the amp has to be turned up to 8 or 9 for grind.
