Good question Mertay!
I started showing him an amp that is close to the sound that I like. I told him that I wanted an amp that fits somewhere between these amps: JCM800 Soldano Hot Rod Organge Dual Terror I told him that Soldano was the close to what I'm looking for which I feel that it's close to a JCM800 but with a different EQ balance. Based on these first specification and some audio samples showing him the kind of sound that I want he started designing the preamp and also suggested me which tubes could go well for this one. We are at this point so I cannot say how this will continue but the cool part of this is that once he has the amp close to be finished, I can go, try it and tell him all the sonic changes that I want, mostly related to balance, and how Eqs and other settings can alter the tone and he will tweak them. This is like magic for me.

The HPS is a joke. As the first inspiration for this one was Soldano Hot Rod. I announced that the Cactus Gabriel Leopardi Hot Porn Sound is coming...
 So we had the GL HPS

It's mono channel but I'll be able to switch with a foot switch from high to low input which means that the signal goes through all the pre tubes (high) or some of them (low) to have less drive.
Some details that have been decided: Power: 18 watts Power Tubes: 6p6 Preamp tubes: 6n2p It will include two extra controls: depth and presence and loop fx in/out. -------------------- My lessons
