Single-ended or push-pull, various preawar preamp and power tubes, with or without EQ, low or high gain, Reverb, Tremolo, Vibrato and more.

The amp presented here was custom made by special request for a guitar player in New Zealand with deep insights
into the history of vacuum tubes and vintage guitar and studio gear.
It is a 1x12 combo with direct-heated-triode preamp and direct-heated-pentode power tubes and Mercury Vapor rectifier - all prewar tubes.
The speaker is a vintage Vox Bulldog with original cone from 1970.
It has no EQ and comes with the legendary mid 1970s Laney Klipp overdrive circuit with even-order harmonic clipping.
Both Echo and Reverb effects are created by the magical TEL-RAY Oil Can Echo and Vibrato units from 1968.
