This little bugger showed up at my office yesterday, and it was tough to get any work done for the balance of the afternoon!
Having never owned a tube amp before, I figured this would be a simple way in, and at the very least some decent insight into vintage kit etc.
It does not disapoint. Not going to rave about it, but it is an excellent little amp, with clean mids, plenty of bass, and extended highs. The mild downside (already alleviated by swapping in 70's EI EL84's, a Tung Sol 12ax7, and a GE 5Y3) is some grit on the highs, and some wool in the bass.
I look forward to how this comes together, with the PS cap replaced, some real binding posts, and the output caps upgraded...
Amazing synergy with my high efficiency b200 Visatons, those 4-5 wpc are really delivering, in the context of my Bolder SB3 front end, 50 year old amp, and open baffle speakers! A really interesting mix of gear I guess, but it works!
