Well now I've gone and done it. Whilst cruising eBay earlier this week I spied this little gem.

Yes - a glorious 4 channel behometh of an amp, once owned by Andy Taylor, of Duran Duran. The story goes that this was supposedly it was the second TOL he owned and it was used as a backup on tour. One day the tubes went down on his main amp and he just swapped the tubes out of this amp and never got round to re-valveing it. The guy who I got it off bought it from him (or maybe his guitar tech) with no valves and got it fixed up.
So - adventures in Rock/Pop abound. I shall post some first impressions after I've had a chance to crank it this weekend. For those of you who are impatient - sound samples can be found at
http://www.perrymanweb.com/gear-sound-samples.htm - A site I have nothing to do with BTW.
Or go and buy DD's last album!
