Longtime Traynor fan here, my main guitar head for quite a few years now is a 60's Bass Mate, 6V6 version. I've had others, lusted after others, and then I ran into Garnet. Both Pete Traynor and Gar Gillies were amp design geniuses, and maybe especially Garnet, the following and rave reviews on these amps speaks for itself, which pushed me over the edge to get an ultra rare Garnet 1x12 Reverb/Tremolo combo that only weighs 18lbs, anxious to check this out, shipping all the way from QC.
Truth be told, it was Cupric.
The Tweed Champ thing. I had a real TV front way back when, sold it for maybe $275?
That was a long time ago, but suddenly the 5F1 circuit was something I wanted to check out, and somehow I arrived at the Garnet because I didn't really feel like spending a big chunk on something that isn't vintage. I was looking at something from Carl's Custom Amps, seems to be a highly reputable builder of that circuit.
