Thanks Todd!

Courtesy of tkam, I managed to get my hands on the special PPX3 that the Toddler himself dreamed up.

The amp is now mine.

I loved this amp the last time we were down in Cinci.

I thought about getting one for weeks back then but I already had a high voltage MPX3 and eventually sort of forgot about the amp.

I dont know what prompted me to ask Mikhail about the amp. When I did, I found out that this amp is more like a mini-Maestro than a PPX3 SLAM. The power supply is fully regulated unlike the PPX3, the power supply used a number of Maestro techniques and the Maestro plitron .... and added the high voltage operation with 6BL7GTA's.

In short, this amp kicks serious butt. AC/DC and Rodrigo Y Gabrielahave not stopped spinning since the amp arrived. Guitars electric and acoustic are just awesome and drums have that center of the earth solidity you hear when there is lots of excesspower available. The amp is a space monster using a Raytheon 6GU7 for gain too.

I know, I know

Thanks again Todd.
