I'll post a pic when the first one is done. This one will be pretty basic black but to keep things interesting i'll probably have different fabrics/colors in the future.

Its now a Vox-y thing with two ECL84s. Maybe about a watt or two. The speaker, naturally, sounds like the worst ass an ass has ever assed.

you gotta blast those god damned tubes
