This is interesting and makes sense as Robben has stated he is moving away from touring to produce and teach. He has been demoing Little Walter amps in various forms in his living room for his live streams and trying new amps for the last couple of years. He has a 2x10 Vibrolux (which I think was used on Purple House?) and new/different guitars seem to be rotating through his videos too (Butterscotch Tele, PRS, a '59 conversion LP, etc). I'm sure 102 will certainly help his retirement savings as well.

Marcus, grab that and swap the tubes and transformers out in your amp!

I believe that the guy turning the knobs was Rick Wheeler. He is or at least has been the tech for Larry Carton and Robbin Ford.

some clean tones , 10 times repeat some overtones listening and wondering ..sound like this: zbroing---zbroing---plinnnng----plinnnng-- :lol:
i didnt see nothing special in this video. actually sound was somekind sterile ("hi-fi=?)to me. youtube? at first basic fender amp would sound much better? maybe other will have different opinion. sustain was heard on clean tones, this was good.
