His 6L6/KT66 version joined the herd this year, capable of carrying a quartet of the American-flavored bottles also occasionally used by Howard Alexander Dumble.

Any fan of vintage amplifiers will feel a flutter in the ol’ ticker at the sight of an immaculate early example like we have here. But this mid-/late-’30s combo is even more stunning to behold when you consider that it arrived just a decade after the world’s best solution to the guitar’s paltry volume was to put its strings directly in contact with a thin aluminum resonator cone built into its body.
