Totally tube. Totally original circuitry.
The 2011 Valvetech VAC 25/50 -2 (Thunderbolt)
The ULTIMATE tweed amp with gain switching and reverb
These amps are the result of 10+ years or tinkering and fine tuning to get the most versitile easy to use amp there is. (or I've ever seen anyway!!)
Channel 1 is a pure tweed channnel, based on the 59 tweed amps. Go ahead and compare it to an original, it more than holds its own! Plugging into channel 1 on theThe VAC 25/50 -2 is like stepping back in time over 50 years.
Channel 2 is the gain switching channel. This channel can go from pristine clean to massive overdrive . Even with the gain maxed it still has the feel and basic character of an old amp. Turn the boost on and off with the footswitch, the gain changes but the basic tone stays the same. No need for seperate clean and dirty tone controls on this amp. You dont even need the footswitch, the amp will clean of from max gain to clean just with your guitars volume control (much like a T wreck) Massive gain, light plexi style OD, Umble type OD, vintage clean, all here,all in 1 amp.

The 2011 Hayseed series amps.

All of these models come standard with bypassing master and 1/2 power switch.
The Hayseed amps have much improved ventilation over the originals, you also have easy access to the tubes, it is all point to point wired, and of course it is made in the USA. Dont compare this amp to a mere clone, or cheap import, line it up side by side to a real vintage amp, do a blind listening test, the Hayseed is going to FLOOR you !
