I don't think those clips actually do justice to the amp. My 66 has much more dimension to it's sound than those clips indicate. probably the way it was miced.

I agree, but it shows the versatility of the amp. A lot of people think it is just a dirty amp, but the clean tones are quite good.
I remember that an old clip from Perry Roper sold me on the amp, but when I received my 66, I cranked it half way up and wet myself!! It just sounds so much better when you are standing a few feet from the amp.

That 66 on Tonefrenzy looks like an early one (like mine); it has the single 3A fuse on the back and the incorrect "Interstate" symbol on the front.

Did anyone notice in their writeup they got the tube functions all turned around?

They said it's a high gain 12ax7 in the front end, it's actually an ef86 front end, the 12ax7 is the phase inverter. And I don't know that the ef86 is considered a 'hifi tube'. It's a pentode and has partition noise, I think those hifi guys try to avoid that as much as possible.

Man those clips really don't represent my 66 at all. I thought they were dull and lifeless. My amp has so much more to offer. Just my .02

I agree bilbal, those sound clips sound pretty poor compared to how my 66 really sounds. If I didn't know it was a 66 I wouldn't have guessed that was the amp we're hearing.

I agree.Sounds like they made these clips at low volume,really clean sound.Not at all showing the full power of the 66.Clean is good sometimes but crank it up and let people hear what the 66 is really capable of!! JMO
