Good idea. Nobody's allowed to bring more than they can carry with two hands. Could do it 'round your house

I might buy another.....
So have you still got the Imperial and the Royalist? or did you flick one/both of them? I got confused by a comment you made in another thread.

Keeping the Royalist. Sold the Imperial. Bought a Ryan-built 5E3.
I've only half as much in the Royalist as I had in the Imperial. Had a chance to get my money back on it so took it. Didn't use it as much as the Royalist and figured the $4k tied-up in could be better spent.

It's a long walk from Ashburton to my place!

It's OK. I'm just waiting for the house price crash and I'll move in next door. Should be along any day now

Just been playing around swapping valves.
I don't play anything that uses tremelo, but I like a bit of reverb which this amp doesn't have.
I tried out a 12AY7EH in the tremelo position and as expected, the tremelo effect is almost non-existant.
Perfect!
It now has a nice low level ambience which is warm but not overpowering - different - but an alternative to reverb.

First day at church for the Excelsior today!
Wow! it's got some volume.
I used my P90 Riviera plugged into the mic input & couldn't take the volume higher than the 9 o'clock position.

Nice!
I really like these. If they had spring reverb, I'd be all over one.
