Loving some Russian Glass!

Love love love the way she sounds with these old Ruskie 5U4Gs. My fav envelope shape, as well (ST)!  She's just cooking tonight. Sold my Top Hat head and the guy saw my amp sitting next to it and asked me to play it. He said it sounded better than the TH!

Very cool, dude.  I must have missed the thread on the amp and cabinet construction.  Specs?

Hey!  No worries!

Basically the preamp is a blackface derivative (ab763 normal channel) with some 60's plexi values in the tonestack.  The power amp is a juiced down super reverb circuit running about 30-35w with variable negative feedback for quicker breakup and grit.
