I have his November 2+2 and have been using it for 10 mo. now. I love it and people are always asking me at gigs "what the hell is that amp? It sounds great!". I am no amp tech so I can't comment on one specific part or another, but I can say that I also have in my possession a Fender Tonemaster, a 79' 50 watt plexi Marshall head converted to hand wired jtm 45 circuit built into a bluesbreaker cab with Weber Blue dog alnico 12's, a 69 super reverb, a 67 bassman and other assorted good amps and this Winfeild Thomas amp has been the one at the last nearly 175 gigs that I have done. It has sounded great at every one and never given me one ounce of trouble. It is light. It looks great. Mine is the actaul one pictured on his site. The half power option is great for not getting yelled at (still pretty loud tho). I had trouble with the clean headroom aspect that Ringo mentioned at first but rectified that with the right speaker combination. As long as this thing keeps sounding great and holding up week after week I will keep sounding the horn for Winnie. I think that will be a long time. Winnie also modified my 67 bassman to tweed type circuit and that is great too but with the opposite headroom problem--TOO LOUD.
