Let's see here...... 4 el34 tubes and two rectifiers in a straight line on what looks to be an orange chassis in a modified headshell (you can see the wave in the bottom cut where the grill is, and the orange inbetween the far left power tube and the first rectifier) on top of an orange cab. So I take it it's an OR120 in a customized headshell?

those look like pretubes to the left of the power tubes. ORs all had solid state rectification

You do have a point, it does look to small and not blue enough to be a rectifier. Your guess there oh god of the amps?

Looks like the bottom has Orange tolex, so I mean it could be an Orange but since the pretubes are to the left of the power tubes I dont think it would be a OR unit.

You were looking for comics right? I posted a couple pages back one I forgot. Transmetropolitan. It is basically Hunter S. Thompson in the future. Awesome series.
At the studio they have a les paul special (I think that is what it is) from some years back that is a dual p-90 in that shitty yellow. It tears up. I was running it through a princeton with a maestro fuzz I built for the studio and it was outrageous. That little amp could sing. I know it isn't a huge stack but damn. Brein, the guy who owns a lot of the amps and guitars at the studio, had just put a celestion gold in there to try and get a different sound out of it since he also has another princeton with the old jensen in it that sounds pretty killer too.
I found a pic of some of the guitars:
Will read Transmetropolitan as well, thanks!
To be honest, I love big amps at shows, but when I'm jamming at home and writing I prefer a smaller amp and a bunch of pedals. I feel like I can actually focus more and not tire my head out with loud volume. With that said, I do feel more free when using loud amps and big cabinets; as if I need less colouration of pedals to feel creative. I'm building my mini rig. After I've done that I'll be building my big rig. 2014 here we come.
By the way, the Fender Princeton is a sweet little amp. I love the vintage ones.

You just nailed exactly why I bought my Verellen. I don't
need dual 200w heads at home when jamming, but i do need them live. 45w Class A is way more then enough for home jamming.

That amp uses a nice power supply scheme, it might actually hit 140W or so with 585V plate, 380V screen. A smart power supply

If I was playing the music I
really wanted in a three-piece band on stage, I'd be rocking a Fryette Deliverance 120, two Fryette 4x12's, and a Matamp GT1 or a Super Bass with two 2x15 cabinets. That's the dream. And then if I could only bring one amp I'd bring a my original idea of the Dunwich Iron Lung. But that's OTT at home. A small rig is all you need.

Could it handle a quad of 6550's?

That would be one hell of a sick rig.....
You still need to have the Iron Lung built one of these days, the power amp section scheme is the stuff of legends if I remember correctly.
