Neil at Chandlers swears that the early ones were better for reasons I have no clue about.
One upgrade I'd totally rec is the Weber Alnico from Watford Valves- makes a great amp into a world beater.

Dear Diary,
Today, I posted something on thefretboard that the guru @icbm actually agreed with. I ws so pleased and was all warm and goo-ey inside.
It's the first time I've said something he approved of and it made my day.
Gassage.

Well done.
Not jealous in any way whatsoever....

You're right. At volume, setting the reverb dial at 2 is enough and 5-6 for the surf stuff. I'm still mucking about with the channel inputs but seem to have settled on Input 1 of the Vibrato Channel too.
Doesn't it take pedals well and it's quiet too. I use 4 different overdrives, all with different degrees of gain - Catalinbread 5F6, Keeley TS-808, Fulltone OCD and a Wampler Pinnacle - and it loves them. When I use the ODs, the amp seems to bring out the pick attack sound and you get this lovely chink sound when you strike the string and there's really good string articulation.
Getting a great funk clean from it and then hitting the Pinnacle to get a 5150-type amp sound just puts a smile on my face.
Friends keep telling me to replace the Jensen speaker only because they reckon it takes the amp up a notch. The stock Jensen sounds fine to me but forums do recommend a Weber, Cannabis Rex or Eminence Legend in them.
I look forward to your thread!
Enjoy it MS!
