Yes!

We might make a last tweak or two. But we revealed two prototypes at the LA amp show last week. One with all new parts and one with NOS signal and tone caps. Surprisingly, people were split 50/50 on which was better.

I will have a full announcement next week when the specs are final and we know pricing, lead time etc.

The amp is a collaboration between Dave and I. Voiced specifically for total brown sound with everything dimed. Also has a 3 way mains switch for off, normal and variac'ed operation.

Let me know any specific questions you have.

Did you guys get hold of Eddies #1 to test against?
So, this is a full output, stadium gig amp, does the sound only start at the dimed settings.

Of course which brown sound would you say this doing (most closest to).. VH1, 2, WACF, FW;

Full production model to be sold by order along with your plexi replicas? and will it be mostly new parts (since you made one with NOS and one new)?


I think this is really awesome, based on your reputations I'd say this will be an amazing sound amp.

Keep up the good work

Look its a aggressive plexi. Brown yes but it does other stuff also. Is it a clone no its just my take on it. Could be used for a variety vh records with the right other stuff. It will also do ac/dc and others.
