Allyn,

Is there more clean headroom on this amp when you roll down the guitar volume?

Allyn,

About time we see an amplifier with the name MEYER on it. :)

I noticed this AC/DC welder has a variable foot control output, very nice when starting and stopping the arc. :P

I like it and I can see the need for such a beast. Is the owner running a 4x12 stack?

That is incredibly cool! Hopefully he can send in some live video shots of it in action so we can hear it in a band context.

What is the object there to the right with the white wires going to it.

Bias pot?

It sure looks like it is a bias pot two white wires going over to the board on the side with two smaller caps and diodes wired to the PT.
