What a fantastic clean tone, I LOVE me some KT66s. Do we get to hear the OD?
Just plug it in, man.

I LOVE THAT AMP!

Looks good and Sounds great!!
Just got couple of KT66 in exchange for an unused desktop computer.
Was thinking to build them some sort of either Manzamp variation or Express incarnation (have a JTM transformer set with Modulus amps Drake OT clone) and that seems to come right on time. If you manage with a schematic - will be great, though the mods mentioned are sufficiently descriptive for a start.

My trainwreck express is done, a few esthetic details missing, cab, chassis, turret boards are all diy
the sound is really great, touch sensitivity is very good, a monster headroom in the clean sound.And it is quite.But too loud to hear the overdrive spot.
