This is long winded but I do switch to a Telecaster later in the video and play the amp clean.  This amp is very versatile.  I don't realize what a gem I have until I turn this amp on.  They are fairly rare and I don't think they are easy to find now.  I bought this amp years ago from a collector.  It has been one of my best behaved amps.  I've only had to replace the fuse holder.  It still has the original cord.  I also had the speakers reconed years ago.  Everything else is original except the newer electrolytic capacitors.
