Someone asked about the tubes…
It’s got EL-34s. It is a mixture of brands though. Two svetlana, 1 EHX, 1 ruby.
V1 was given to me as a Mullard. Much of the screen printing has worn off, but the “Great Britain” at the bottom is still visible.
I recently bought a Dean Costello Heavy Metal Warfare for the second time. At the time I sold it I was really preferring my multi-channel amps, but lately it’s been all high gain all the time and single channels work well. I regretted selling as I packed it up and as soon as I turned this one on...
This a 1974 Super Lead with no mods and all original transformers. The necessary caps have been updated but you'll see the original mustard caps all over the board along with the legendary pink wire. Four speaker outputs in the back are stock and likely imply it was a USA export model. Some...
3 very cool and not-so-common guitars. I've just happened to hit my 50 post minimum, but I've done deals with several of you on TGP or maybe via Reverb. Nevertheless, it's my first classified post here, so I'm going to drop the prices on all of these just for rig-talk. Trade offers welcome, but...
Broughton makes a pedal with hi and lo pass plus 20db of gain boost. It’s a really useful tool. Mine currently sits between my reactive load and power amp to allow some fine tuning.

I’ve not played one, but seen some mixed comments on ones that have been up for sale (bad ergonomics, veneer coming off, etc). There was a thread on TGP where some dude really hyped his and then either didn’t like it or didn’t actually pay up because the guitar got reposted by LEF. When someone...
I had one that I let go off last summer. I generally thought it was great but preferred and even weirder Les Paul.
The upper fret access is great. I generally avoid LPs because I hate the upper fret access challenge (I need all the help I can get), so that’s a game changer. The electronics are...
Here's the pricing from mine earlier this year. I had him procure a recto for me rather than sending one over, so that's the first line item.
I ended up selling the amp -- it was unique and cool, but somehow just not for me (particularly at that rough price point). But Henric was easy to work...
I haven't had any problems with lower tuning and either the Suhr RL or the Fryette PS-2. The fryette in particular is a pretty flexible load with the various settings. Did you have the same problem when re-amping or just when going to your daw?
The only other thing that comes to mind is that...
Decent price on a clean GT1 on TGP https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/will-ship-matamp-gt1-mkii-2023-dc-metro-area-pickup.2517187/post-38088826
I bought a used ESP standard series potbelly a few weeks ago. I think PRS is a reasonable comparison, maybe with a tad more LP double cut vibes while PRS generally has some strat-y vibes. My potbelly has a tremolo which makes it feel a bit more off the map, whereas I’d guess a stop tail would...
The NMV Matamps are pretty close, but the designs shift around the locations of the FAC controls and EQ. Plus the Matamps generally have a more standard negative feedback setup than the Orange boost control. To my ear, this makes the Oranges have a more natural treble bite veering towards...
