Played it at home for about an hour tonight...bell like tones and seems perfect for my genre...like a mini twin...I'm looking forward to using it on sunday in a gig situation now.
Thanks again Chris.. was really good to meet you..
Can you expand on why you advised the mix, or explain the benefits please?
Of course, differing cone types have an effect also, but as the G10C and G10A use the same cone the differences between the two are just the magnet type - and provide a useful way to really understand the differences between Ceramic and Alnico.
In a multi-speaker cabinet, I always recommend trying a mix of types.

First, we upgraded the NORMAL channel to the same spec as the BRIGHT, then changed the second channel to that from the later BF Vibroverb to give Andy a wider tonal variety.
Second, we made sure that both the Reverb and Tremolo work on both channels, adding glorious brownface Reverb to a blackface channel...go on then!
Third, we added push-pull bright switches to each channel, these switch in an extra cap on top of the standard value so Andy can use even the darkest guitar with this amp.
Finally, a custom faceplate was fitted with Andy's own little touch
Of course, this amp is stuffed full of Jupiter caps, WGS G10C speakers, and has the new two-button footswitch.

The PR6 is a SE version of the PR18, running either a 6V6, 6L6, 5881, EL34, or KT66.
It kicks out 6w with a 6V6, and 8w with the other valve types. Peak power is 20w at full crank
Valve driven spring reverb, bias-tremolo, two-button footswitch, and a choice of either WGS G12Q ceramic or Black and Blue alnico speakers. Not forgetting the Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps

He wanted a 35-40w 1x12” combo with two very different channels. One is a super clean, clear, and rich blackface channel with a full TMB tonestack. The other is a Neil Young-esque Tweed channel with loads of mid-range and grind.
We added a Presence control to help dial the amp into different rooms/stages, along with pentode/triode and valve/SS rectifier switches.
Finished in brown face cosmetics and loaded with a WGS G12C ceramic speaker.
Not forgetting it’s stuffed full of Jupiter Vintage Yellow tone caps!
Just packing it into a flight case as it’s off to live in Norway.
