actually, the GA14 titan and GA6 lancer are pretty much a hybrid of the 5D3 and 5E3 fender deluxe circuits. The 14 has a 10" (I owned one fof years, just sold it recently) and the Lancer was always a 12" that originally came in a wide-panel fender style box with non-tweed covering and octal preamp tubes like a 5C3 deluxe and then turned into a tweed amp that looked just like your Explorer but the guts are very much in the 5E3 deluxe cap with only a few component differences. The GA18 is not really that deluxey, probably less so than Gibson's GA20 and GA40 amps. Cool amp you've got though. I mean all small 50s combos sound pretty similar, man. But circuit-wise I think the GA18 is one of Gibson's LEAST deluxey amps. The GA18T with trem if I recall correctly is very much a tremolux circuit.... if your has trem then, that's the amp it shares topology with. If not its more like a Harvard.
