I remember seeing this amp being in their shop a while back. I wonder if that's why they are selling an amp for $35K https://reverb.com/item/52059411-gramma ... ansformers, either the vintage iron...or some magic dust transferred

A few things that jump out at me are?
The amp has a nice bright clear midrange to it, very articulate
The amp obviously likes to sustain and bloom out, even at low volumes.
The low end is tight and full sounding!
Response sounds fast punchy but doesn't appear to be stiff, he is using single coils though so there is that!
Treble frequency's sound flat (not much sparkle there) which is what you want in a good sounding ODS. Attribute this mainly to the High plate loads and NFB V1b.
I think it was very cool to hear the amps clean just by itself no D-lator Tele plugged straight in without Robben playing it. Just the natural sound of the amp at low volume levels is very revealing
