This was my first amp. Utterly, utterly ****e old thing, but with
connstruction techniques which belonged to the victorians. Lots of little
bits and pieces joined together by amazingly neat hand looming. Those were
the days. The amp boasted 60dB of feedback ISTR.

You're not kidding, a decent 20'll fetch £600, no sweat......

Is that good? Was it so unstable that it needed it?

Probably. It was one of the amps where people said correctly that the
previous valve amp was much better sounding. It was also possibly less
reliable, which takes some doing with solid state versus valves. ;-)
