Chickenwings
Alnico 6/8
This is the vibe. Lacquered Tweediness.
Classic tone hand wound paper layer trannies

Jupiter and sprague caps. The builder is Andy at used art sounds. He makes his own board to accommodate various mods. Belton tube sockets. All the good gear.
Thoroughly broken in Jensen p12n. Big magnet alnico gorgeousness.
rubies. The builder likes them. He reckons hes has some reliability issues with tungsols.
Rubies in the power section also. We discussed jjs (which i usually go for) vs the smaller bottle tungsols. I was after the lower headroom more vintage style of tube for this amp. He recommended these for the more vintage small bottle sound.
Eric Bellingham (local sydney amp legend) made the cab 20mm deeper than a regular cab to accomodate the bigger magnet bell covered speakers like a p12n or celestion gold. Any aussie or sydney guys who dont know Eric, look him up. He also sells his own original hand wired PTP amps. Ive got one of his JTM marshall style amps, and played a bunch of others, some of my friends have them too. Just fantastic gear and he custom builds all the cabs to make your dream amp in whatever color etc you want. Here is a link to another cab he did for me.
sexy, comfy and long lasting handle. Much better than the fender leather ones.
Andy added a negative feedback switch to tighten up the power section for times when i want a little more clean headroom and wider frequency response.
He also modified the "normal" channel to be more humbucker friendly. The bright channel is stock which is the main sound i was after. There is also a switch to cut down the gain and trim off a little low end for humbuckers at high volume or hotter guitars.
No point doing clips, the sound of a tweed deluxe is as old as rock and roll. If you have never plugged into a tweed deluxe, you owe it to yourself to try.
All in all. Its pretty rad and all hand built. Anyone who knows tweed deluxes knows what i'm talking about. I'ts real nice.
