    Another neglected project:

    I pulled this out of storage last weekend, maybe I'll finally put it in a cabinet this year

    It sounds like it's frying bacon right now

    I'd add some tube shields to those pre-amp bottles.

    I can do that. The challenge would be the bases. I would have to find the bases alone or replace the entire sockets. The sockets that are in there right now are phenolic, & some nice ceramic ones might not fit without modifications. Finding & replacing that giant filter cap is also going to be daunting

    That's really cool! Is it currently playable? How's it sound?

    It's playable in the sense that you can plug a guitar into it & it produces a sound, but it's not very useable. Muy potential though, imo
    That's the ticket, & cheap, too. I think I'll go with the red ones

    Dude, I'm having fits finding one. I downloaded one I found for an HS-544 but haven't had a chance to look at it yet
