In my opinion, the black/silver face Princeton Reverb is the must have amp in a collection. I almost sold mine (1973 Silverface) to buy some silly guitar about 2 years ago. Thankfully it didn’t happen.

Congrats.

Here's my completed Trinity TC15. Electronics by me, head cab by BG & 112 cab by Livesound. This is a 15W RMS Vox/Matchless amp with an EF86 channel, an AC30 Top Boost channel, a "more gain" switch (works on Top Boost channel), switchable OT primary impedance (which provides the Vox or Matchless choice), 4/8/16 output impedance, global power scaling (VRM), a "Cut" control and a master volume. Got the Celestion Blue in the cab but yet to crank. All those tones!

Certainly is.
I miss it, but I still have nowhere I could use it.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

That is an appropriate rig.
To think I've gone from that to a 12 watt Jansen and people still say I'm loud. :roll:

This is #1, a Mike 5E3, I have played this every day since I got it. Bloody wonderful piece of kit.

This has sentimental value, a 1954 Valco made Harmony 8418, served as my trip amp across the USA, 5 watts of attitude.

It really it quite lovely - first amp in while that makes me want to keep playing. Bit more spendy than my usual purchases but certainly no regrets :)

Certainly is.
I miss it, but I still have nowhere I could use it.
the only place I got it cranking was the mission bay blues fest- outdoor to a big crowd, it sounded awesome. So good that I retired afterwards.
Who has it now?
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
