Two 6L6 Power Tubes and FET preamp designed by BK Butler.

Noise free and sounds great, I sold my other steel amps but kept this one as it sounded so good.
The secondary overdrive channel stopped working which is fairly common for this model for some reason. I never used it anyway . Just turned up louder for breakup

Crazy good deal"!!!
Beautiful lap steel here I know I've built a few laps steels .

Thanks for the shoutout Johnie, I tip my hat to Rex Blattenberger for making this nice instrument for me.

The longish scale, tuned and chambered body with no string taper to the nut makes it a nice full sounding and easy to play guitar.

bOb; please close the topic as I sold the instrument outside of the forum at the big online auction place.
Buyer mentioned he saw it first here at the forum; so donation forthcoming
