S

That's it really, so...
S
80:10Simon McBrideGUEST
But yeah, no the angle stuff's brilliant and it's funny because I use the angle power amp which has six L6s and the the main head is EL34 so there's a slight contrast in sound in both the left and right side.
S
80:22Simon McBrideGUEST
Maybe that's good.
S
80:23Simon McBrideGUEST

69:31Waverly GrovesGUEST
