He's is a pretty awesome musician and songwriter. He has a very unique tone that really suits his music. I read that he swears everyone who knows how he gets his sound to secrecy. He has some very quirky licks that are damn hard to play...

...works well with others and is progressing satisfactorily. Is sometimes off-task and could apply himself more.

So howzabout starting a list of class A heads and Combos. Very keen to hear.

When it comes to guitar amps, true Class A is a difficult one. In a way, when it comes to guitar amps, "Class A" had become a marketing term rather than a scientific/electronic term. A lot of amps are marketed as "Class A" simply because they're cathode-biased and/or single-ended - in reality a lot of these amps are Class A/B, regardless of the fact that they're cathode-biased and/or single-ended.

It's always a can of worms to stir up, but even the Vox AC30, always referred to as a Class A amp, is actually a class A/B amp, according to many knowledgeable people.

Class A doesn't mean a better amp, it's just a different mode of operation ... and as I say, these days, more of a marketing term than anything scientifically accurate.

I'm pretty sure the above post about "class B amplifiers" was a joke - correct me if I'm wrong

Good reading on http://www.aikenamps.com/

Is that the weird character that looks like a piece of toast?

For that sort of money there are a pair of nice looking Marshall Jubilee Combo's on trade me right now that I would personally investigate if I was in the market at that price point.

YMMV

That twin speaker Jubilee would we sweet as.

Especially since it comes with V30's ... I've seen some of the Jubilee series cabs loaded with G12M70's, which are not very nice at all.

i have an f50 head , 4x10 cab and an sg with 490/500t's... the 500t is my pickup of choice,i usually swap out the bridge pickups in all my gats for one.i really like it,and bought for the fact it doesn't sound like a recto but has more character than the dsl100 i used to record with.different strokes i guess...
