He did a limited run of the 5 watters, around a dozen I believe, they were sold before they were built and he doesn't plan on building any more. I think he found the cost of the build was very close to a Super 17 and it didn't make any sense to continue the model.

Richard's preamp is his design. it's similar to other EL84 amps but has it's own sound. Very pure, not gainy, very touch sensitive.
