Jack Ham lent me this amp. I had never heard of it so I took it home and tried it out. It has one of the best british tube amp sounds I've ever heard. I was inspired to set up a recording studio in my livingroom just to see how great this amp sounds recorded so I hooked up a mic and plugged in some pedals and recorded myself goofing around. I started playing the rhythm section of a song called Gettin' Better by Tesla on the Mechanical Resonance album, probably because the tone I was getting sounds a lot like theirs. Just for fun, the left guitar track and solo were recorded with the cornford's built-in overdrive and the right channel guitar gets its overdrive sound from my Electro Harmonix English Muff'n pedal. I'm amazed at how transparent the overdrive pedal is with this amp, I almost can't tell the two guitars apart. Anyway, I recorded my bass and programmed some drums using the midi editor in Garage Band. Added some reverb and did some volume tweaking and chugged out this mp3 file. Well, I like the way this amp sounds so I'll probably be owning it soon...
