Hi guys, I've known of Bray for a long while and considered buying one of his Coco models, but being in the EU is a bit of a hassle when it comes to buying American stuff. Anyhoo, this export model turned up down in the Netherlands and I decided to jump on it. Rare stuff on this side of the pond. It got here yesterday, and jeez, it sounds really good. I won't call it versatile, but it has a lot of nuance in that killer plexi vibe it's got. Very much looking forward to cranking it over the weekend.

 
HNAD!

I don't really know Bray amps and had to go check them out. They sound pretty legit. Congrats on your NAD.
 
Had a blue one I regre lt selling but thats the way the news goes lol. They're great, underrated amps. Instant VH.

Yeah, I guess EVH has always been the main angle there and that´s what he´s known for, and this one is built to those specs too. Not sure what exactly that is relative to a stock ´68, but I suppose all the builders have their own proprietary flavor of values and voltages even when the circuit is more or less original.

This also has push-pull functions for slightly angrier mids and treble to complement different pickups, and also a whole different option with a cascaded preamp that sounds great but is way further into modded territory.
