Custom cigar box amp. I build tube amps for fun. 5E3 Fenders, 18w TMB's, etc. I had this tiny little Kustom Dart solid state on my bench I use as a tuneup amp when I'm setting intonations. Had this old explosive box that said Trojan, a can of orange paint, two Rat Shack speakers from 20 years ago, and a leather handle. Tired of looking at a $79 amp on my bench. Will put the chicken wire grill on tomorrow. Posed together next to a highly modified Shane Speal Cigar Box with a humbucking rail, Broadcaster knobs, and an externally wired bridge ground. An extreme amount of tone for any price. Doesn't come close to my 8 watt tube Guytronix Ardmor volume, but it's way worthy to sit in my music room until it goes away as a Chritmas gift.
