Jansens can be such spectacularly underrated amps.
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.

The depth and warmth of the tremolo leaves my 6/40 for dead.

Take note of the valve doing the wobble. In my Harmony amp, the glass makes a huge difference.

It does, only one valve in my vibrolux does the job, everything else I’ve tried is not the same. Fucked if it ever blows :(

I just checked the schematics - the 6/20 and 6/40 both utilise identical bias wiggle for the tremolo (similar to a Princeton Reverb). So the bias adjustment on the power tubes can really effect the tremolo depth.

I suspect those sockets are for 1/4" jacks? You should be able to interpolate those to bananas, and get a feel of the size of this whole thing. :thumbup:

Amazon AU took over a week to not send me the spark despite saying they had stock… so ordered from the US instead, shipped the same day…

Apparently very loud! The GK 250ml was amp for the guitars on Irons Maidens Somewhere in Time album.
They seem to have a cult following.
