I actually bought it before I was in town - but I did stop in Main Drag for a few minutes while I was there. Was rad to see a whole section of their pedal display dedicated to your stuff!

The head showed up today - can't wait to fire it up at the practice space this weekend!

No, it's a Marshall 2204 circuit (what many people might misleadingly call a JCM 800) with mods I made to tame down/make more reasonable some things I dont like about the standard circuit. I find them to be overly bright and the low input to be useless. This was done years before I saw any Friedman schematics but it seems my changes track very similarly with their "Dirty Shirley" version.

Nah, pretty sure its the used G-50 that FM four_oclocker_2.2 just bought, though I had to convince myself. That Balls 20 sold in April 2022 and I have a hard time believing that this show filmed 12 months before air. The G-50 had been there for ~2 months before it sold so I think its much more the likely timeframe. Also that Balls 20 had a decent amount of blank space to the right of the knobs, that doesnt seem to be there on the amp pictured.
