I'd need to buy gold filament :rofl: that seems more like the sort of thing the crew at www.emblems.co.nz could do for you :-)

Volume doesn't really change with the knob between two and ten. Just dirtier, and at really manageable volumes. I wouldn't be doing it in an apartment, but I doubt my neighbours will be objecting too much.

Love the gold and green!

No master volume is also how these amps should be experienced - given you get a chance to wind it up occasionally.

Nice simple circuit for pure toannnn - great work Mike :)

I've just seen this amp on the flesh
It was being guarded by a lunatic dog and a recumbent older woman
Looks the part. Lovely cab and lovely face plate.
I approve of the green and gold.
Didn't get a chance to try it (on account of recumbent older lady above ).

We shall fang it tomorrow. Thinking of suggesting that the ladies have brunch at a cafe.

Sidebar: is the phrase "verdant green" not tautological?

verdant describes the type of green.

e.g. "the carpet was a verdant green until the 5 year old vomited up a bag of stolen gummy sweets, after which, it became an olive drab green"

Doesn't it mean "green green "

In the old usage of verdant yes, but in modern usage it means "thriving vegetation green".
