HOLY S**T, Finally a Silver Jubilee reissue!!!!!!!!!!!
Need to work out what I can sell to buy this amp!!! Am willing to flog off the YJM100 for starters, maybe I can sell my dog as well!!!

Yep, you can put pretty much whatever you like in the AFD100, EL34's, 6550's, KT77's, KT66's etc.. and is self biases itself!

Put them in my AFD100, I think they are great tubes....im not good at describing tone but they were an improvement over the stock tubes. I wasn't 100% happy with the stock tubes, a little fizzy, too bright. The genalex gold KT66's really warmed it up and smoothed it out, very happy. I know genalex a...

Man thats exactly what I was thinking, selling the YJM100 for a 1959HW. I initially bought the YJM100 for all the bells and whistles, turns out I dont like the epa and the boost really sux (just my opinion).
Would be nice to have a simple HW circuit!

Either i'm going def or my YJM is broken, but EPA on 11:00 is a nice practice volume for me. I wouldn't say its too loud.

Even with EPA at 12:00 the tone is clean. Yeah it sounds great if thats what you are going for but there is barely any crunch! Its just a completely different amp with my rock crusher, roars like a plexi should! My tone sweet spot is at 11:00 volume, no epa and no attenuator, of course this is way t...

cool, thanks sigi, I saw your amp on a previous post, I didnt realise it was a HW. I suppose the tall head gives it away!
By the way, do you know why Marshall decided to make the head taller?.....Ive never seen this on any clones, reissues etc...

Genalex Gold Lion KT66's for me.......improvement over the stock, also a NOS mullard in V1 helps!

Genalex Gold Lion KT66's, amazing tubes in this amp!!!

Its really strange there is barely any info, reviews, discussions on this amp. Being a holy grail amp I'm surprised there is no talk on the forum regarding this amp.
Definitely an amp on my purchase list!

Agree with everything Mats A says! I don't know what the fuss is with the built in EPA, the amp sounds way better through a good attenuator.
I use a Riviera RockCrusher, sounds amazing.....the amp has some serious gain running through the rockcrusher as appose to the EPA where it barely gets crunchy!
