I had one once for a couple of years. I put a Weber speaker in it, nos
tubes, and had it properly biased, and it sounded very good. But I
ended up trading it, partly after I heard an old, original DR. Its not
a bad amp. It does not have point to point wiring, true. But neither
does Tone King. Its plenty loud enough, the reverb is typical for
built in reverb. I preferred 5751s in the reverb recovery stage. I
guess i ultimately got rid of it because I just wasn't satisfied--it
was close but no cigar. I didn't want to rebuild it with a Hoffman
board, and the trade in value had already depreciated so much--I just
had to get rid of it before I was stuck with it. Its better than the
Blues Deluxe. But if I wanted a fixed bias amp, I'd build an Allen
from a kit-- or save my pennies for a Carr Slant V6. Or refurbish an
old DR.
