well i finally found a vero for a bluesbreaker but it had to be a KOT clone...
the diode choices are strange but if i'm gonna do it i want to do it right. is there anything similar to the ma856 diode that is easily obtainable through small bear? i'm gonna order all my parts from there and PPP (they have the 121588's). thanks
Online, it looks like suitable subs are:
1SS150
2SS152
BA283
BA483
BA484
Hope that helps.
thanks! i'll try some different ones.
