Thank you Mark and everyone on sorting out all the info on this killer amp . Mark is your cab made by Larry as well ? I found his site and safe to say it's some of the most beautiful amp cabinets I've ever seen . Simply stunning !M Fowler wrote:That cab was build by Larry Mann (distortions) a great cabinet maker.

Re: rocket noOb
This amp was one of almost two dozen that was put together by a group of us on TAG a few years ago... although I think this particular one wasn't actually finished until recently. The transformer set is a deviation from what we have learned to be the standard for a Traditional Rocket build. The OPT is a deviant of the Liverpool trannies that was a custom wind from Heyboer. The power tranny was a generic Wreck tranny (HTS-5199) and the choke is an AC-30 replacement. Most folks that built them or heard them hold them in high regard. They typically have a fantastic clean tone and a smooth sweet breakup, depending upon which guitar you chose to play through them.
Adding a Distortion cabinet is like the ultimate compliment for any amp... what is not to love?
The front faceplate is one of many that Lonely Raven created for the group effort. That particular pattern remains one of the most popular to this day.
Nice looking amp!
