Like double-scoops of brown sugar and molasses mixed with maple pancake syrup......

Not a sweeter sound to be found on the entire planet.

Ok get out the No-Doze. In German, a word ending in "d" is pronounced closer to a "t" sound. Like "tod" = death, pronouced "tot." As in Todenkopf or Death Head Armored Units. YT OP poster is German.

Amzing how good that tweed sounds. The sustain sitting on top of those 6V6GT harmonics. Classic.

Sounds like bragg'n but my Clark Piedmont sounded very much like that !
Not really bragg'n so much since i don't own it any more I guess.
Don't even know if he is still building amps now, I search e-bay often and don't find any.
That guy had a real ear for Tweed tones in my opinion
