A Bigger One...

Post by tubelectron »

Hello All,

A Bigger One : the Paul GUILHEM Deluxe.

Originally built in October 1993, I upgraded the circuit and retolexed the cab in late 2014 - early 2015 :

Here are some samples of the Paul GUILHEM Deluxe, without any additional effect. The guitar is a Mosrite Ventures replica, the different pickup modes are tested. I should have cut the basses a bit more on the amp...
