Yes, we don`t need another "Champ" copy. But "new" design needs some experimentations...for example, I`m not sure about microphonic properties of those high-gm frame grid pentodes. Hey, what you think about complete combo-amp project with box...AES has some nice "vintage" tweed tolex and grill clothes, plus some "cool" details - handles, corners... But, probably we must first finish those Merlin/PP 2A3/SE 300B projects...
