The name is entirely my fault Martin normally calls his Fender flavoured amps 'Twang'. I used the theory that as this is Princeton but bigger/better, that it was obviously a Twang King... See it works on so many levels. Thankfully it made him chuckle too, so the name stuck.

I will get a better picture of it in daylight tomorrow.

That's ... that's an awful lot of Princeton ......

Yeah it's quite sizable ;) The cab is a 2x10 Martin made for my Ampmaker Double Six kit that I've now sold. So I had him make the Princeton head to match. It's rather wonderful. Has some proper punch with that cab on (pair of alnico Legend 1028Ks in there).

He's taking a little break at the moment, just clearing out the backlog (his waiting list was getting pretty long), so not taking orders currently. But he says he'll be back to it in a while :) Martin is a bit of a ninja, he makes the amps for Stormshadow also (they just put them into their boxes IIRC). Those things are mental.

His amps are the bollocks.

Much Impressive! :)

Will neee some gut shots, Martin works is flawless i've come to know that... but... i'd like to see the innards of that one if Mart ever took some while building.

And.... CLIPS! ;D

Happy NAD Bro!

He doesn't really like gut shots of his amps out there, certainly his versions of things and I can totally dig and respect that. Even though this one is a direct clone just built properly, I would still rather not.

That said, I haven't had this one apart (yet), but if it's anything like my others, it'll be flawless inside. I'll pop the back off tomorrow anyhow and give a pic of outer guts, as it were :)

As for clips, when a far better player than me pops around (which is just about anyone), I'll get something recorded ;)

That's and endgame amp right there! Big congrats.
