Going to post this one backwards.
They always ask for sound clips, I'll do that first, and backwards.
Never apologize for anything (is what they say), but there is a running high frequency noise on the recording that isn't coming form the amp, it's somewhere between the mic and the PC.
Too lazy to look it up, I just wanted to record.
It's in all the clips.
So here is the prototype Cyg-30 (I estimate the wattage).
2x6L6GC, 5U4GB rectifier, 2x12AX7, 12AU7 PI.
Iron is 1950's Masco power and Hammond organ output transformer.
Preamp is nearly the same as the Cygnus-7.
PI section is paraphase, output is cathode biased.
So, all in all, a little vintage, a little modern mixed in together.
High gain first:

There is anoise issue in the background beyond that mic problem, just some fine tuning to do.
But I feel the tone is there.
Guitar is Sinster's Gift, his homebrew LP loaded with Stephens Design VL3 Proto bridge and PF Star neck, rolled back to about 70% volume and tone (you'll hear the transitions).
High gain is all VL3 Proto bridge full on.
