About a year ago, I traded a laptop for this amp on craigslist. The guy said it was a custom build of a classic 1960's vibro champ amp. The person who built this used a 12" Weber and hardwired a holy grail. You can control the holy grail levels via the middle pot on the front of the amp. You can control the type of reverb (cathedral, hall, spring (i think)) via the three position switch next to the lamp on the face of the amp. It's powered via the courtesy plug on the back of the amp.

The first knob is volume, second is a single hi/low tone knob, the middle is reverb, and the last two control the vibrato speed and depth.

Can any of you help me confirm what type of circuit this build was based off of? Also, how do I figure out the wattage? The tubes are: 5Y3GT, 6V6GT (x2), ECC835 (x2). The code on the large black transformer is: 022772 / 8316748.
The smaller transformer code is: 1155-0101 / 6050632. I'm not sure if that info is helpful or not. Thanks in advance!
