Good mix with the vocals Buggy. Nice overall sound.

The Fender Bassman had 6L6's and SS rectifiers. Marshall modded that amp for their circuits from what I hear. They kept the SS rectifier and made their own versions of the power tubes 6L6=EL84. I think the Marshall circuit has a cleaner sound to them while the Fender has a shimmer to their clean sound. Great job on the amp.

I love my old Silvertone Tube Amp, 2-12AX7's, 2-6V6's and a 6X4 rectifier tube. 6AU6 drives the Tremolo circuit. I put the chassis into a 3-way stereo speaker with the 12" speaker. The speaker cab made it sound darker like a Marshall - Tone Heaven.

Yours sounds great, hard to beat 12AX7's and 6L6's. Tube rectifier or SS?

Great music and loved the video.

Growly good after 8:47. I sampled the rest and all good. Honking the harp good too. Very nice balance between vocals and guitar banging.
