Some MKI goodness straight from the south of Spain. Right: raw, mean and dirty. Left: polite and elegant. You can cover almost all MKI territory with these two!

Practice night. This little OSO 715 head built by Stephen Walsh is pretty great. That's a Drag N Fly and a 212 with Vox silvers in use.

Re: The Setup of the Day Thread
Sweet! I’ve been chatting to Steve about getting one of those 715s. How are you finding it and especially the master volume?

Re: The Setup of the Day Thread
I'm very happy with it, and I'm not easy to please when it comes to amps, especially modern amps, and especially where there is a master volume. Normally I leave a master all the way up and use the input volume as the only volume control, but on this I have the input about halfway (I think ?) and I use the master as if it was the only volume.
It's a loud amp through those speakers. The EQ works well and it can produce a lot of low end if you want. It generally sounds like a little big amp, if you know what I mean, and sounds like it could have been a later design than what it really was. It has an EZ81 but I would not say it is especially squishy. I put in primo NOS tubes throughout except the JJ/Tesla rectifier it came with, maybe I should experiment there too as I would not mind some more compression when I dig in.
It seems to respond like an all tube amp to pedals and higher than vintage input levels, I haven't run out of headroom or needed to do anything differently with this amp compared to others, but I don't push it to extremes. The on board diode clipping distortion sounds nice, and it is more useful than the original since it has a pot on the control panel (I do have a 730 and 710 to compare to). But for a basic Voxy mild crunch you don't need it.
When I compare side by side to my favorite 2 x 12 AC15 just out of that shot on the left (also with Celestion alnicos) the 715 sounds a bit less vintage and sweet. If I didn't directly listen one after the other, I might not know that. But it's also much less expensive and you don't have to be so careful with it. I would also say that it completely slaughters the various reissue AC15s with reverb and top boost.

Re: The Setup of the Day Thread
Wow! An original 730, 710 and AC-15. Damn I’m veritably glowing green over here.
Sounds like I might have to go for it. Shipping it over is not fun and sourcing a cab is real hard too but it sounds worth it.
We have a glorious sounding ‘64 AC-30 Top Boost in the shop I manage but it’s naturally louder than I’ll have use for.
