I would be wanting to check what the real one sounds like before you get all glassy eyeed 8)

Try this as example, it would seem this is the Real Deal.

Note the distinct sharp cutoff in the high freq dept?

Very obvious with the Les Paul.

Don't get me wrong it's a very well built nice sounding responsive SSAmp,,,
BUT To stretch that into,,, ""it's a SS TWreck"' is a massive leap of blind ignorance.

Oh damn forgot to mention,,, same link above.
Checkout the *Teck Talk* where Glen explains how he uses the guitar *Controls* and some simple explanations of the TW Amp as well,,,,

You just might learn some things that all players should know/ learn.

Note the comment where he shows how the clean sound is very close (In SPL) to the distorted sound. :o
No that is what I call ***Dynamic Response***

Hi lance, welcome.
Any chance of a schematic, or a technical explanation of what you are doing?
It would be very useful, not everyday comes one of the creators of something new.

Lance that Retro sounds beast. Also to add to some humor, I jam in a garage very similar to the one in your youtube video with your  band. At first i was like wow when did you guys setup in my garage? :lmao: Ok cheeziness aside, when can we purchase one of these bad boys and how much. If this is cheaper than a tube head put me down for one. :mobile :tu:
