I've decided to resume my relationship with electricity.
Here's one you don't see every day...the last time I played one of these was 16 years ago.
A 15 watt, twin channel, Class A, valve rectified Cornell Rambler. Not that well known outside of the Motherland, but easily sits alongside other modern small production amps makers - think Matchless, Bad Cat et al.
Tipping plenty of its head to Vox, this little beauty is right up my street. Lovely chimey cleans, but with an added muscularity...it reminds me of the Matchless tone of a Chieftain that I had. The foot switchable second channel puts plenty of crunch on the table, and using the filter control one can make that as raspy or as creamy as one wants. Perfect for someone like me that hates tap dancing with effects pedal gizmotronics...
Once I've mortgaged the house to get some decent Blackburn & Brimar glass into it, it's going to sound even better than it does now.
Thanks to my forum Pal who put this my way and made it happen. My neighbours would like a word.....:hee
For those of you interested in finding out a little more about Cornell amps, this Tone Quest report is a good read...
