"I originally got this as a back-up to the first one (took me nearly 9 years to find another) but soon realised it sounded totally different and nowhere near as good! It turned out that the first one had been repaired/modded with some non standard parts and on paper shouldn’t actually work at all. I had this one changed to replicate it and now they’re very close, albeit with their own character. This also has Eminence ‘Governor’ speakers."
