Simple and sweet.
1953 Deluxe
1988 USA Tele
1980's Ibanez AD9 Delay

'72 Deluxe '73 Pignose
w/ original Power supply
these are incredible little amps , Thick ,full notes and a distortion that puts a smile on your face , but the real magic is running the line out into a Marshall . Its pretty much a nice overdriven boost .Old days studio trick there ...

Thanks to greatmutah for running the BOTR 2021!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I totally expected Mort's '53 Deluxe and Tele to sweep this category.
I think it twas the Big Daddy Ed Roth Mad Pizza Slice sticker that tipped the very close voting in my favor!
