From the Milkman Website (2015):

"The Milkman Sideman is a 50W cathode biased dual channel Class AB vacuum tube amplifier. Channel 1 is voiced for guitar, channel 2 is voiced for pedal steel and features the same preamp circuit as the Milkman Pedal Steel Amplifier. Dual channel tube spring reverb with tone control works with both channels.

Channel one has a Fender tweed style single knob tone circuit for the purest guitar tone possible, and channel two has 3 knob EQ with scooped midrange tailored for steel guitar. However, there is no right or wrong way to use this amp! Channel 1 sounds great for steel and channel 2 sounds great with guitar as well.

The Sideman is designed for versatility, and because it is cathode biased you can swap 6550 or 6L6GC output tubes with no need for bias adjustment. The silicon rectifier is socket mounted so that a 5AU4 or 5AR4 rectifier can be installed for even more tonal options. An optional fixed bias circuit (included in this amp) allows you to raise headroom and increase wattage.

Like every Milkman amplifier, the Sideman is built onto a 1/8” Garolite Turret board with Watts double turrets. NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors, Jupiter Condensers, Mercury Magnetics transformers, and Mojotone US made cloth wire are also standard. "
