If you just take out a large add in that mag you never know what might happen.

Really well done again. You are certainly receiving a lot of positive views throughout the globe.
Thanks Tony - I think it's a matter of perception i.e because it's inexpensive & is in a functional box, it doesn't exude the right pheromones :)

It needs a price tag of >2K & shiny knobs that have to be polished every day in order to interest a certain section of the marketplace!

Yep a valve (or two) & nice big transformer(s) with gold plated encasing.
I'm even liking the sound of this myself :)

Is this what you need to create.
It certainly looks very nice. A little bit of granite on the bass to deal with jitter!
