An evening in the life of a Heritage nutjob, er, collector...

Glad to see the Patriot made it in good shape. Mine sat at the Greenwood In GC for about 4 months before I went up and rescued it. I could have had them send it down to our local store, but I had never really dealt with GC before this.

 

What tubes does your amp have in it? I had GT 6L6s but switched them out to Sovteks. Had to swap out a bad JAN 12ax7 was well for an old EH that I had as well.

The Patriot is 45 watt through 2 6L6 (or EL34s). It uses 12AX7s All hand wired.

 

The EQ is a 3 band with a bright switch (some were switches, mine is a pull pot on the volume control). There is a 2 knob reverb with a "mood" control that adjusts the negative feedback in the amp.

 

I read somewhere that it is loosely based on the Fender Super Reverb but I don't have anything to support that. In terms of sonics, it goes from a tweed type of tone to a blackface SR type tone through the use of the mood control.

 

It's not a master volume amp, so you can't dial down the volume and overdrive the front end for OD.
