Dave West built amps, usually person specific amps for Grand Funk, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, Kiss, and a few others.
Grand Funk built their sound on his amps.
Reverb can be footswitched, sounds like a Fender reverb, plenty of it.
Last time I looked there was zero info on this amp, don't know if it was built for a specific person, or for sale to the public, but I don't think Dave sold to the public, maybe someone knows more than me about this amp, and Dave as well.
3 12ax7's, one at7, and a pair of old US made super skinny el34's.
It weighs just over 80 lbs., the speaker is outrageously heavy by itself, and it's labelled West Labs, but it's an Electrovoice SRO Alnico "coffee can" rebadge.
It does have a full sized Accutronics reverb tank, that is out of the cab in the photos of the inside.
It's running 475 on the plates, and it is LOUD.
Also, there are 3 taps on the output txfrmr, only the eight ohms is wired, but the other two are good, and just not hooked up.
