Do these add dirt/drive or just fine tune things with added clarity? Have always intrigued me but never enough to grab one.

Just boost/clarity/tone shaping. You *can* add clippers which would make it a dirt pedal, but the Level control would function more like a Gain control and it would necessitate the addition of a Master Volume Control.

Balls TF-5. Wee little Tweed Princeton (5F2A) circuit in a head format. 13.5" x 8" x 8". Pretty much stock except for selectable output impedance.

Another O-50. This time built to the specs of the Orange OTR amps that came out in the 90s. Not many differences, but a few and the client wanted to mimic the original as much as possible. This one's going to Melbourne!
