It's the same Valco circuit Vintage 47 uses for their Ric Supreme amp. It's the Dobro model (tweed) that they aren't currently offering. 12 watts. 10" speaker. The tubes were upgraded, so I didn't get the original tubes which were (I think) JJ's.
I'm not knowledgeable about tubes. I just have to go by my ears. But now I think I'm going to spend a little time and energy learning what makes a tube amp tick.
As I said, the crunch on this comes at too loud a volume for home use. But oh my, what a glorious, creamy vintage crunchit has! Like those old, old Chicago blues records. The clean sound on my 335 is awesome. A lot more character than my PRRI.
