This example is one from the second production run (of which there were only two production runs) dated "NC" March 1964. It is a 35 Watt tone monster that hits the sweet spot anywhere between a small wattage Champ and a high wattage Twin or Super.  Some call it "the perfect amount of controllable crunch" with the two 6L6's and tube rectifier bringing out that perfect amount of grit and compression.  As a band member on stage you get just the right volume and "that" guitar tone we are all looking for.  That is also the reason it is one of the most sought after tube amps of the 1960's.
