The Soviet Union was officially dissolved in late December of ’91, and by December 26, Matthews was dealing with a country that was again called Russia. Released in 1991, Sovtek’s MIG-50 was the company’s first offering. Designed by New York ampmeister Tony Bruno and manufactured in Russian military factories, it used an abundance of military-grade components. Intended as a 50-watter using a pair of 5881 output tubes (similar to the 6L6GC)
The pots have been replaced, but still need work. It is almost NOS, got it from Russia. Has a gain mod.(as told by the person I bought it from, I'm no expert.)
