Designed by Dave Green of Matamp and handbuilt in the UK. Excess of vintage amps means this is a bit spare. Comes with a cover.

Gah, should pay attention to my sale threads.

Really, this isn't point to point, very few amps advertised as such are, this is turret track, I think it is patented by Dave Green, a hybrid of PCB and turret, so you get pcb durability (if the PCB is done right, it is reliable, failures are usually from flexing due to inadvisable board mount sockets and such) with turret ease of maintenance. Point to point is where the components aren't mounted on a baord, but floating between points where they are connected, so the path is shortest, but you wend up with a scruffy mess that if hard to figure.

I'll let this blonde one go for £475, I kind of got a deal on it, and I don't need two. The first one blew a valve, but thanks to the awesome design, nothing difficult was damaged and I could rebias it myself:

that is true, in fact fender stopped doing true point to point in 1947 and switched to a turret board type design their after, they still hand wired up to 1985, I would personally rather have a hand wired turret board over true point to point,
