This Bruno Underground 30 Anniversary with Reverb and Tremolo - #23 of 25. It's full of Mullards and signed "with love" from Tony Bruno himself. It must be worth alot so I'd better not drop it!

Pretty damn gorgeous even without the reverb (that's why it's on my bench). Got reverb sorted now and she's drippy, thick & lush.

O.M.G. WOW!!!!
That's rarer than a rare thing and one of my dream 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.

That "grill cloth" doesn't look original though... Someone modified the cabinet?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I'm pretty sure it's original, the guy that owns it purchased it brand and there were only 25 of these "custom" amps ever made. I wouldn't touch a thing!

Okay, that grill cloth caught me out. I believe it is actually paper grill cloth.... the same stuff that Simon of Jansen used to sell...

It's like cane or bamboo weave over of a solid board.
