Being valve driven, it got the sulks with old age and developed a dry joint that, in spite of all the investigations mustered and tried, killed the amp stone dead on important gigs like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve! But it was a great sound while it lasted, and I've not played one since that had its warmth. RIP Jim. |

Will - if you still have that amp, I know someone who can fix it - properly. He's also good with Fender Twins, AC30s, Selmer Truvoices and the like - if it's got valves he can fix it, and he's brilliant with solid state stuff, too - unless it's digital!! |
