My total investment was extremely small, and it has a few very nice parts that would kill on the new build as a custom project. The tubes have been out of it for around 5-6 months, and I couldn't sell it because of the mods, no matter how cool it is. It would be a win/win scenario for me to scavenge from it . Lol!

I'm more curious of HOW, you are using your amp. Are you using the preamp at all, or just pushing it to power tube breakup? Either way should show some nice results, IMO.
I hear Mexico is nice this time of year.
