Unfortunately, I'm no where near Heath's store.

I'll have to find someone local in the Washington D.C. area to check out the tank.

I may try replacing the reverb tubes before I take it anywhere, since the amp
was built in 2003 and only the EL34's have been replaced.

I took the Cat over to my friend's house Sunday and we ran it through
a single 12" open back Fender cabinet with a Vintage 30.

We had no trouble running it @ 8 Ohms in 50 watt or 100 watt mode, but
it was LOUD! Really loud in that open back cabinet.

It seems speading that much power among the 8X10's @ 4Ohms in my SVT cabinet makes the amp much less aggresive on the ears, but stil with plenty
on tone and even more headroom.
