I made a footswitch (it didn't come with one).
I thouhgt I'd go with yellow - matches one of the "slide-buttons".

Looks like a great amp Laurie!
Some of the layout with the two channels looks very much like the Fender Twin, complete with the type of speakers they used.
The SuperSound idea is very late 60s, 70s eh? Looks like a twist of some organ/keyboard ideas.
Would be interesting to hear the trem.
Did you have to replace any of the springs of the reverb?

I'll get some sound samples soon.
There is only one spring in the reverb, and it was fine.
Baldwin were/are organ manufacturers. The supersound thing is a direct lift from one of their organs I'm betting.

Sometimes I wish Canada was just around the corner ! Stunning job mate.
Thanks!
This thrift store stuff I find could only happen in Calgary I think. The city was rich back in the 60s and 70s (and again in the 00's) so there is so much stuff in "grandpa's basement" here...
