The first Hoffman 50 watt heads I made.

image
These are the original 50 watt heads that I started making in 1993. They have an all black powder coated aluminum chassis with smoked plexi-glass front panels. The tubes could be seen glowing through the plexi-glass when the amps were on. The circuit was very close to the old plexi circuit with a few differences here and there. There were probably less than 30 of these made. Later on I made some with purple, green and blue powder coat and one with a wild looking gray hammer tone finish. These are the amps that were reviewed by Guitar player and Gerald Weber.
That is a plexi-glass sign that I used at trade shows sitting on top of the middle amp.

The very first 50 watt Plexi proto type head that I made.  I still own this amp and play it all the time. It's pretty crude looking because it was a proto type and was altered a million times to dial it in before I settled on a final design. Note the open back. Watch those fingers! You can hear this amp in action on this page.

This is what the circuit boards for the production 50 watt amps looked like. Everything was on this board, tubes, filter caps, etc.
