Amps that pair well with the Catalinbread Formula 5F6

fills a frequency gapFills in a frequency range the other side doesn't cover, instead of piling more onto what's already there. (bright → warm)

Push the Hot Rod Deluxe's bluesy tube breakup with the Formula 5F6's own natural, harmonic saturation and it turns into real weight.
