its related to the Fender but has no coupling capacitors between stages. its the most touch sensitive amp ever built

and your right, its the fruit of my axe hackers tone quest. Tubes rule guitar tone, period. the only down side is that they are so inefficient.
you need like 400 watts to get 100 watts at the speaker with tubes. Solid state makes power much more efficiently. marry the low power tubes int he preamp to the clean pure power of a solid state class B and now we have both tone and efficiency
