Plus, I'm working on a hands-on review of a Milkman Creamer 20W combo, so it's being a pretty amazing week.

Mentioned that I had a formal portrait of my FS Legacy, since it's the one that was officially photographed for my employer's website.. Here it is.

Never heard of a Milkman Creamer amp, but they basically nailed the name on it. I am instantly intrigued and looking forward to your review.

Nice design that strikes a balance between blackface/brownface and tweed. The cathode (self) biased power section is switchable between 6L6 and 6V6 (swap tubes and flick a toggle switch), and the designer figured out some tweaks to a cathodyne phase inverter that gives that tweed grunt without farting out. Real usable range on the reverb and tremolo controls. I regretted having to return it, but at $3K, it was a little out of my price range. There should be audio examples going up with the review, and I'll post here when it's up.
