Awesome!

Brilliant!

That's got to be the coolest, and most impractical combos ever! Phil

It looks like the back has been replaced and the center post has been removed from the front baffle. The back should be 1" particle board. Phil

The Taydens definitely sound interesting, I hope I can try them someday.

Super hot!

I've got a friend coming over tomorrow that is going to help me figure it out. It's got more filtering added in the preamp. I think I'm going to play it some more! Phil

There are a bunch of extra caps added in a few places, it's going to take me a while to figure out what's going on. Phil

I just popped it open, it's got some messy mods. The preamp board appears unmolested although some of the extra caps have been tapped into it at one point. It has the stock OL on V2 which looks to be slightly modded and they've added a stacked master volume pot. V2 is using a 12AU7, which is probabl...

The new one definitely sounds sounds better. I brought them both home so I can compare. Phil

I probably won't get to compare them for a week, our bassplayer is out of town an that's where the other one is. Phil

It's kind of funny I've got a Laney and an Impact with Partridge transformers, but both of my Hiwatts have Drake transformers. Phil

Nope, it's got the Drake's.

I traded a couple guitars I wasn't playing for another Biacrown DR 504. This one is a little earlier than the one I gig with, it has toggles instead of rocker switches. I haven't tore into it yet but i think it may sound better than my other one. I've been playing it for the last hour through a bass...

If they are still available I may be interested in the pair of vox/celestion 10's. Phil
