Dennis Kager of Ampeg fame designed the G40V. The circuit of the G40V is based on the 59 Fender Bassman, which was also the basis of the original Marshall amps
one of the loveliest amps i've ever played through was one of those early JTM45s. lovely shimmery harmonic laden cleans that wound up into the most satisfying crunch with loads of rectifier sag. it's a sound that i've had in my head for a while now. replicating it on a budget is something of a quest of mine...

can tell me more about these pignose amps?
