Very Nice!

 

Perhaps we can get Blues, Blu and you out here with your new amps. We can get KBP here too to document the differences and schedule many clones from the best of...

With that nameplate, and the resounding approval at PSP I, this was a slam dunk to be a quality amp.

And it's a nice grab on a rare piece of equipment.

 

I don't recognize the speaker...

Matchless... huh.... did he have any of that for sale?

That would be fun. Mine is having a master volume mod. Now if I could just find some wood workers that can make me a little nameplate for mine..

Very clean!! And yeah, baby :thumbsup: Jon's killed at PSPI. I was still playing it when he wanted to leave. Made him stay until I was finished. :) Well, made might be a strong statement.

How'd you do the branding on the PSP V amp?

:hijacked: Why, I dug out my pocket knife; of course.

 

Look at the top face plate below. We could create a board of some interesting grain / figure / flame, dig out the pocket knife and carve Det Blues, Mars_Hall or a multitude of other interesting sayings...

We now return you to your regularly scheduled really cool amp thread :icon_salut:

Wow Brent! I can't tell you how impressed i was when you pulled the plug on guitar #1 and your amp didn't start yelling at you! Very nicely done. Yes, the playing.

and that would be because of the wonderful silent tip GT cable he was using...available from Mr Steiner. The ThroBak amp with Brent at the helm of the demonstration definitely has the "it" factor...fabulous tone! and since nobody has said it yet...Dibs.

I don't see this amp going away from Brent very soon...shall we do a betting pool for a bottle of something good and strong to see how long he keeps it? ;~) Looks like you might have some Mullard el84's in that amp, Brent? If so, a tight matched decent pair of those is going for stupid money right now. Wouldn't be surprised to see a c-note for some nearly new ones.

i was a little skeptical of the stock Sammi speaker....i had a hankering that this amp could sound even better. So.....i plugged in the Vintage 30 from the Victory. HUGE difference! Much fuller, richer sound. Then i plugged in the Heritage 2x12 cab...that sounded pretty darn good too! I see a new speaker in this amps future.
