Thanks or sharing.
380 B+ - works wonders for Marshalls using el34s.
Most of the Express info indicates 400v or so.

Whoa, there's the single getter Mullards. Whether they are xf2s I can't tell but I would bet so. The preamp tube chart is a puzzle perhaps implying American and Euro, but it really makes no sense to consider a Holland Amperex or Mullard 12AX7 not up to the 7025 rating. Definitely no Tungsram and it's dated 2002. Hm. I'm thinking this is some Kenny misdirection but I would be willing to learn otherwise.

Anyway, thanks for the pics!

Looks like it now has RFT EL34s in it, going by the Emerald City ad pics.

I don't know the history behind this amp, though it's a lot of money for history, it would be cheaper to make history!

$55K WOW!

I'm surprised Keith Urban owns it, it's not your typical country amp. I read the Vintage Guitar article where John Mayer asks K.U. what he pays for his guitars and says why not pay similar money for amps. I dare say Nancy wasn't his sort of amp.
Yours Sincerely

All the tubes appear to have been changed. I doubt this amp sounds like it used to. These amps are SO tube dependent
If it sounds good, it is good! Trust your ears
