Hello Ralf,

You should have a chat with the other guitarist of my band ;) He did
several gigs in Germany with his other band, maybe you've heard of them
(Omission). He owns a JCM800 1959 from the 80ies. But it's too hot for
me (I think his pre-amp stage needs some care), I like a clean, clear
sound with ringing highs but still a lot of oomph. The combination of my
guitar (the Yamaha) and the amp+cabinet give me that. I also like it as
clean as possible so I can color my sound better. And with coloring I
mean as transparent as possible, so no OD-2 for me ;) (I use a Fulltone
Full-Drive 2 Mosfet and 2x Ibanez Mostortion through a Wobo
looper/switcher).

Never heard of Petersburg amps, I did some Googling but contrary to
Petersburg amps London City amps are point-to-point and slightly better
build.

Best,

Jeremy
