Bob, with the Original Gold "Shawn Lane" amp - a great-sounding, but extremely heavy and bulky amplifier that sacrificed convenience for performance. It was only built for a few years before it became clear that it was impractical for most guitarists...
...while building more user-friendly amps, I developed the Gainmaster, which has been a component of my last several amp designs...
In 2013, a determined customer contacted me and convinced me to recreate one of the Gold amps, which I improved with the Gainmaster and some important circuit modifications.
After re-creating the old Powers of Ten amp, I was inspired to revisit the single-ended design and in 2015, I figured out a way to fit it in a standard-sized cabinet, with improved tone and only two knobs - end result is that everyone who experiences it is blown away...
Brought my logo into the 21st century, and took the cosmetic metal plates back to the original Powers of Ten gold...mounted the amp in a standard sized "normal" cabinet.. added matching speaker cabs.
Finished product exceeds all expectations. I have retired all other designs at this point, and the 10^n is now in production.
