Very exciting New Amp Day. So exciting, in fact, I played the thing all evening and forgot to take a decent picture 
However, I made a clip using a song I'm working on for a new album as the basis:
https://soundcloud.com/cjmventer/cjmventer-caverns-demo
Anyway, details on the amp:
Fender Blackface-looking head made by Cono Fusco of Queens NY. Great guy who learned his electronics through the US Military.
2 Channels
Both Channels in phase and both share the reverb
Channel 2: Based on Blackface Twin Reverb
Channel 1: Not sure what this is but it's voiced a bit differently. Cono's own concoction.
Reverb: Tube Driven/Transformer-Coupled type reverb using a long Accutronics Six Spring Tank. Reverb has Mix and Dwell Controls. Sounds super huge and etherial.
Power Section: 2 x 6L6 with option of running triode or pentode mode and also with the option of running solid state or tube rectifier.
Controls:
Channel 1: Volume, Treble, Bass, Middle, Boost (Tone stack bypass switch which can be controlled via footswitch), Bright Switch
Channel 2: Volume, Treble, Bass, Middle, Bright Switch
Both: Reverb Mix, Reverb Dwell, Presence, Reverb Bypass Footswitch
Power: SS/Tube Rectifier Switch, Triode/Pentode Switch
Output: Normal, Extention Speaker, 4,8,16 Ohms Selectabe.
Other stuff:
Mercury Magnetics Transformers
Super beefy 1 watt resistors used throughout
Mallory capacitors
Mix of NOS and Current Production Tubes
Oh, also the guitar used is the Maple Caster I posted about earlier. Remember the concern about it being too bright? Yeah...that didn't happen at all. More bass heavy than anything, to be honest.
