Some seriously old EBS speakers there, rasmusC! The first generation "EBS" labelled speakers used Electro Voice and (Fane?) speakers like yours.
Since then they have changed cone drivers, "rat fur" (at least twice), tweeters (I think), carrying handles etc.
Well, time goes on...

Deepwoods, are you happy with the T90? How does it sound? What style do you play? Perhaps you are still in the honey moon phase - in that case I will come back later... 
I am very interested in the T90 as a home practice amp doubling as guitar amp.

No number required, but I am so happy and impressed with the sounds of my Fafner 2. What a huge, clear, versitile, grindy rock & roll machine! 
Well, I'll give you a number just the same:No number required, but I am so happy and impressed with the sounds of my Fafner 2. What a huge, clear, versitile, grindy rock & roll machine!

I very much dig the t90. It is my first all tube amp since my Peavey Alphabass is the late 80's so I am really enjoying the rich and lively tones of this amp. It is plenty loud for my needs. I have played 2 shows with it so far. One in my party rock band with pa support. The sound guy said it sounded great through the mains. The other show was in a medium sized bar with my Grateful Dead cover band, no pa support and a loud drummer. I had plenty of volume and it stayed clean unless I really dug in (perfect). When I was setting up I had no output. It turned out to be a wiring issue with my P bass but I had my guitar player plug into the t90 to verify and it sounded really good. He builds his own tube amps and he was impressed with the guitar tone. Also, my cab is a GK 212-II neo. Hope that helps.

Nice! Did you ever use the original Fafner? If so, how does it compare to the II?
I have never had the opportunity to play any other EBS amps, so I cannot compare them.
And yes - it is an extremely versatile amp! Beautiful cleans, an excellent compressor, and tons of power.

I use and EBS Valvedrive preamp as my always on pedal to shape my tone and warm up my signal. I love it. I use it to record always as well with my radial JDI. Best pedal preamp I've ever tried.
So I have a question for EBS amp users.
I have a Fafner I and I've noticed that it doesn't take too much for the Peak LED to light up. Is this like the Ampeg amps where you sort of need to treat that LED like a signal indicator? Or is it a real, actual "too much" warning?

My EBS 1V2 will still have clean headroom left when the LED lights up. Works very well for my needs, gigging or recording. There is no "drive" or "grit" once you overload the input, just ugly SS clipping.
