Who cares?
All the interesting new music on the BBC is on 6 Music and occasionally on Radio 3 or 4.

This.
The vast majority of my tone shaping comes from the DHA VT1 EQ on my board - I use the amp to adjust for any 'inconsistencies' in the stage sound. DI feed comes from the DHA too, so I know my feed to FOH is just the way I like it.
I tried running an old Laney power amp (bridged to 300W mono instead of 150W per side) this week instead of my usual SWR, and it still sounded great. I might start looking into a small class D power amp...

GREAT tune. And Album. And Band. Thanks for posting!
It'll do anything you need it to - individual controls for input and gain mean that you can trade one off against the other - turn the input way up and drop the gain for clean sounds.
You can also change the 12AX7 tube for a 12AU7 - that'll drop the amount of gain on tap - use the 'boost' knob to compensate for any signal loss earlier in the signal path.
Dunno, I teach a bit and students are still asking for Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Hendrix stuff. I guess if a student is really excited by music, then they are prepared to dig a little to find what they like.

Au contraire - he clearly states that they're a 'composite set' - very rare, very expensive...

The best part of this restoration is that he hasn't bothered to even fit new strings. In fact, he's just chucked on whatever dead crap he could find in his parts bin.
