I guess I should mentioned that this is my second Reverb Master. I played one for nearly twenty years until my family needed the space. I sold it and replaced it with a little Marshall combo. Eventually I knew I preferred the Traynor, so I started a multi-state search. This being about forty years after my first one was built and Traynors being an acquired taste, I wasn't particularly hopeful. I finally tracked one down in an adjoining state and in an irony, it turned out to have been built the same month as my first and to be a far better sounding amp. Cool, huh?
