A friend od mine who is an ace on tube amps built me an amp. It's a five watt tube amp Based on the late fifties tweed fender app.
I had a fender mustang head, like fits a 4 12 slant cab. He took that head And cut the chassis. Then he loaded it with the fender tweed amp circuit. It's a 6L6 app. He put a hard to get rectifier tube in it that has some sag. It has a volume and a master tone knob...thats it.
Ohh my goodness!!!
At "sitting around the living room" volume it sounds amazing!
ZZ Top LaGrange all day long!
He did me a favor...$230
I'm out of town but pictures to come.
 
Here's some pics. Im going to trim around the cutout...maybe I dunno. Its going to sit on my 4/12 slant cab thats loaded with celestions. Thats a 4 ohm load. Amp should scream though that cab.
Its switchable from 4 ohm (the master 1/4 " is the 4 ohm input and the reverb is the 8 ohm). Im gonna have to ask him what the toggle switch on the bass input is. May be a ground switch or a stand by. All point to point hand wired!
Im goi g to try and record some clips tomorrow
