22/7 GREEN RUSSIAN

Back in the mid-eighties after E-H had gone belly-up in the US, Mike Matthews set up shop in the then USSR as Sovtek. Initially focussed on producing valves, it wasn't long before lingering demand for the Muff prompted Matthews to recruit two Soviet colonels and set them to work on producing a new Russian built model. The design evolved from what became known as the Red Army Overdrive, to the Civil War model and then in the 90s the green V7 models. Production ceased a couple of years back and what were once one of the best cheap thrills available to fuzzheads have now become collectable and expensive.
