Reposting the seller's pics. Maybe I'll take some better ones of my own. I dunno. It's an amp.
I've been looking for a simple dual 6V6 head for a while to get a little more clean headroom than my VHT Special 6 can provide. Played a bunch of amps and watched tons of demos, and these little guys were one of the front runners. They're built on a Bell & Howell Filmosound amp chassis with a mix of new and old parts. This one has a 3 position bass rolloff switch on the back added by the builder. That option in particular was pretty appealing to me as I prefer open back cabs and they can get a little murky in the low end at higher volumes when the amp is breaking up.
Only got a chance to play it for a little bit, but I'm super impressed so far. It's very touch sensitive, and really brings out the overtones in single note stuff. I think the bass rolloff in the middle position is going to be my jam for band situations. At a living room volume the tone right at noon was good, but there's plenty of treble boost on tap. Sounds great with my Talisman and trem too. Very bell-like with the Silvertone 1303/U2 lipsticks. I feel like it's a bit more mid-forward than the classic Princeton sound, but not drastically so. It actually reminds me a lot of the Supro 1600 which I absolutely loved aside from the inevitable combo rattle.
I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the cabinet too. The tolex is well done and everything is tight and solid. From what I understand the hole above the IEC jack was present in the original chassis. The jack is solid though, so I'm not worried about. I guess I'd prefer it had corners, but I'll probably get a cover or case for it before too long anyway.
I wish our new practice space was done so I can really open it up, Hopefully in a few weeks.
