| Anybody ever try a Weber 6A80 tube amp head for steel? |

You understand, right?, that if properly built it will be a Dual Showman Reverb. I don't believe it attempts to be anything other than an exact clone (unless I'm mistaken).
I'm not stating this as any sort of negative. If I had the chops I'd be tempted. |

Dual showman reverb...so what could be bad?
I don't have the chops to build one...no way, but my bro is an EE and lifelong audiophile/tech, and one of the best Mac restorers in the world, so I'm hoping he can handle it. |

| I bought the 6A80 chassis kit from Ted, but am using an AB763 turret board and MM and Fender transformers for my project. I'll use a 15" speaker and I'm calling mine a blackface Twin clone. It will be a great steel amp! |

Hey Bill Thanks.

Sounds very cool too me.
I like the MM, but Weber makes good trans too,
and a good bit less.
I have Weber 4-10" in my Bassman
and they sound like the old days for sure.
