Re: (RL) The production

I used to use a Marshall 50 watt combo until I saw Television at Shepherds Bush,London earlier this year.Richard and Tom were both using Vox AC30's,with great results! I tried one but found them to loud and hot running.My search led me to Budda Amplification.They make(or did until Mesa stopped them) an amp called The Dual Stage 30,which has a minimal pre-amp with switchable power stages(Mesa copywrite).I have the 4x10 combo version,it has footswitchable 6L6 and EL 34 output circuits with a master Volume and a five position attenuator for the EL34s.You can get the glassy clean Fender sound,a slight break up a la Dumble then kick over to the EL34's for Vox/plexi on meltdown. It's Point-to point Btw.It is a bit loud though :)
 I was lucky to get the last one in the UK,they have not been made for a while but they do still come up on e-bay.I have never really been satisfied with my amps in the past(I have played for 26 yrs) but I will never let my Budda Go.

Thanks for the lessons Richard!

Paul.
