Just picked this up, what an awesome ALL TUBE amp! To me it sounds like a pre-CBS Showman with a ton more power. John Nau builds some awesome amps, although he's mostly known for his hot-rod guitar amps.
265 Watts
6X6550 & 12AX7
Hammond Transformers
BIG Caps
DI & Tuner Out

Not cheap but considering it's 100% hand built, as you want it, I think that's reasonable |
