AFAIK you were the first to use this name on...

Ok Guys, I got some time last nite to have a friend of mine stop by and record some clips. These were recorded with just the guitar plugged straight into the amp with the amp driving a 4x 12 cab loaded with Celestian Greenbacks. It was very impromptu with nothing added to the recording as far as eff...

No, That is a trim pot I installed in place of the 150k to dial in the third gain stage. it also has an adjustable line out on the back.

Here are a few pics of a Liverpool (Ginger Clone) amp I built 6 years ago in 2006. Ginger was Ken's first Liverpool and had a 1/2 power switch that really wasn't all that usefull.
