I also set up a mic--this has better audio:

Pretty much the ultimate amp, imho. it has all the power (and more) any dictator would ever need, but it also sounds fantastic at lower levels with the master down. it has all the Hiwatt cleans you could ever want, but it also is capable of over the top Hiwatt overdrive. it's capable of getting dirtier than my 4-holer 50 watt. the boost switch (essentially the Jimmy Page Hiwatt circuit) is such a nice feature--it basically makes the amp like a switchable 2 channel hiwatt: hiwatt cleans, hiwatt overdrive at the click of a switch. you can set the balance so when you kick in the boost there's both a significant gain (distortion) boost and significant volume boost--or you can set it so there's pretty much just a gain boost (or anywhere in between).
The KT88's sound amazing--more full bodied sounding than the typical EL34 hiwatt (which obviously sound full bodied, but almost sound a little midrangey in comparison).
Couldn't be happier with this puppy. Honestly I think more guitar players should consider this amp, don't let the 200 watts scare you away--you can dial it back. but if you want huge cleans (for a pedal platform) it's got it--and if you want gnarly hiwatt overdrive, it's got that too.
also--it's a piece of artwork. mustard caps. true Hylight-era Hiwatt wiring and attention to detail. have a look:
