This is a unique design, touted by Alessandro as being designed for Jazz players. All of the components and wiring are high end components, and there's even 6SL7 tubes in the preamp section, giving it a very hi-fi like setup. The wood on the headshell looks gorgeous, as George has a talent for woodworking in the same way he does with circuitry. This amp is in excellent shape, with practically no signs of previous use!
