Klemt Echolette BS40 - Hermansson Amplification

This wonderful old German amp is totally rebuilt by Hermansson Amplification. It's a four input, one channel amp where all four inputs sound different; input 1: bright hi-gain, input 2: normal hi-gain, input 3: bright low-gain, input 4: normal low-gain. The amp has the following controls: gain, master volume, treble, middle, bass and presence. I've also installed a tube buffered effects loop. The preamp tubes in this amp are ECC808 which compared to ECC83/12ax7 have lower noise, symmetric inner construction and lower microphonics but has the same characteristics as the ECC83/12ax7 (different pinout). For this amp project, I've focused to get extreme dynamics and tons of attack in the sound. You can play anything just dialing the volume on the guitar. For this clip, I'm playing through input 1, guitar straight into the amp.

Guitar: Greco EGF-1000.
TC G-major II in the loop for some delays.
Cab: Malmberg 4x12 with old Greenbacks.
Mics: Golden Age R1 mkIII, Tascam DR-40

I have just purchased a Klempt Echolette B40N
I have put in new tubes. Now I will plug it in. I'm using a 5R4GYA Rectifier tube for lower volume and distortion threshold.

I have a BS40. I'm guessing you changed original ecc808's to 12ax7? I've been thinking about cascading both inputs for a little more gain. Just curious. Are you plugged straight into the amp?
