:shocked:

Holy crap! I was over at Mark's place yesterday (He's been helping me with some switching/layout stuff on my amp) and played a couple of his crazy mods he had sitting around.

One of them was this old, completely point to point wired amp that he had modded. When I say point to point, I really mean it. No circuit board(s) at all, complete point to point wired. Anyway the thing has two massive power tubes (KT66 I think??) The friggin' amp is a fire breathing dragon - simply awesome heavy tones. I think Mark said it was around 60W. Tiny little amp, with massive tubes and transformers (100W transformers Mark said). I can't believe the sound coming out of this thing.

Mark said to take it home with me and check it out. I played it for hours last night with and without effects. What this guy can do with an amp is amazing. I love this damn thing. I normally prefer 100W amps, but this thing has incredible girth and bass response I don't normally associate with lower wattage amps. The thing also sounds great at extremely low volume...

Somebody should just be paying this guy to sit in a room and come up with crazy new amps. Somebody who can then convert his ideas into sustained production. I'm convinced it would be a great business...

Is that the Standell thing? :D If so, it's VERY cool. Kind of like the Custom 75.

Funny, Mark and I have an understanding; he's not getting the Custom 75 back until he builds me the same amp :lol: :LOL: Well......at least that's MY understanding :lol: :LOL:

He's always got a bunch of wacky mods sitting around. "Ya wanna try this one?" Um... yes, yes I do... :lol: :LOL:

He had a Wizard metal he modded and also some combo that was in a Mesa chassis that we played through a 4x12. That one sounded great too, but I preferred the Standell...

The thing that is interesting is that these mutants as well as the CCV cover much more than Hi-gain. It's just that the clips everyone produces of these amps ARE high gain...
