Cheers Lordathestrings, I will drink one for you this evening ! Expect a plethora of MPs s from Stonegroove studios in the not too distant !

KingDavid, bigger is not always better, (yer year I know that is normally the cry of the man with the tiny winkle) however, the the case of amps, well it is also true.

Im not really planing to gig with this amp so being able to decimate whole areas of rain forest with a single tactically place Am is not an issue.

I do however want to try recording using different microphones / preamps and to be able to do that the amp needs to not generate too much noise whilst being driven reasonably hard. Now this instance of driving in this case is more to do with signal to noise ratios as opposed to getting the tubes good and juiced (as this is a solid state amp). However, it is a good few years since I miked an amp so we will see !
