Not too shabby, quite clean. Single Sovtek 12AX7 and EL84. Generic ceramic 8” speaker.
Very simple innards. I’m going to tidy up the wiring - the wires weren’t twisted together during assembly, which doesn’t help with the hum, and there are a bunch of extra power cables and fuse holders for different input voltages that can be safely removed. At some point I’ll probably upgrade the capacitors and other components.
The speaker will be swapped out for something with an AlNiCo magnet. I’m just trying to decide if I replace it with an 8” Jensen P8R in situ, or build a new cabinet from pine to give it a 10” or 12”.
Still can’t quite believe I picked this up for the price of a budget pedal.

It sounds slightly boxy and crunchy, but in a nice way. More mids and highs (it’s a small speaker), but not unpleasant.
