Ohhh will look later! I had a Top Hat Super Deluxe and SiHirst did too, and now he’s got a bigger thing w reverb.

It’s kinda one of my amps I do regret moving on (and not buying back from you Si)!

I bought one from a fellow forumite and we both lived to regret selling it. Was a great clean platform.

Half way through. Love it how they’re actually drilling down on the details, unlike Tone Talk where you’re literally yelling at Marc to ask the obvious question.

Was that from SiHirst? If so, it was my original Super Deluxe I brought new.

Did you get that off Janek Croydon (RIP)? He was the Top Hat dealer in NZ in the late 2000s.

No, though it may have been his too. It was the Royal or some such. 212 with mixed speakers.
