Little Big! Basically, what happens when you un-muff a muff? Get rid of the typical scooped-mid sound by means of simplified hi-cut tone control for full frequency response. Additionally, adjust the gain stages to provide *slightly* less gain and smoother, gentler clipping. Still a muff-type but a much smoother, mid-present, sustain-y version.

Had a couple of these Rotosound-style enclosures and did this custom build in one. Vox Tone Bender style with Tesla 103NU71 & Tungsram AC176 transistors.

Balls BF-2R! AB165 Bassman-based circuit with added reverb and bias wiggle tremolo. The back end is two ECL84 tubes, cathode-biased for ~2 watts. Gorgeous looking and sounding Jupiter 8SC 8" speaker. 17" x 13.5" x 7.75". Intended to be a house amp that sounds like bigger push-pull amp.

And by request, two footswiches in different orientation to fit pedalboards.
