V3 is better by all accounts. Good spotting that one. I want one of these particularly badly but can't justify it right now.<br /><br />@kaiby<br />Unsure about the location of the tube in the circuit but it is a Thompson 6111 vacuum tube. It's basically glued into place and cannot be changed. Also, there is only one other make of 6111 tubes (that I'm aware of) and supposedly the Thompson is the better sounding of the two.
vabch22You are correct it does but this version is more musical and has some of the best mids you'll ever heard from an amp. $399 new is a great price but these pop up online used for like $250-$300. So' I'll have to pass on this one. Great amp those for those that do buy it. You are gonna be getting a fantastic amp
Just took apart our sample unit, cant take it all the way apart because of the sealing thermal paste but you can see the tube pretty well. <br /><br />
