One arrived during the week. A 1970's silverfaced vibrato model.

...I am absolutely flawed. Not only is it in stella condition with original tubes (!!),
it sounds incredible. It's simple... but pure tone. It does what it does brilliantly. A
great clean tone, and lovely ballsy breakup from such a little amp.

I am almost angry at myself for not trying on out earlier instead of forking out money
on "boutique" amplifiers.

Any tips on using it with an electric piano? I'm getting a lot of hum out of it when
attached to my 200a. Perhaps lifting the shield on the instrument cable?
