Mmmm, I love my Vox AC30s, even if I haven't fired 'em up in years. The sound is gorgeous.

I wish I could remember the name of the small English family loudspeaker company that his tests were intended to show off. (It began with a T) They certainly improved on the Celestions in my opinion, but then I never was a fan of jangly toppy speakers in the studio - though on stage I can see the point.

Re: jekyll and hyde (none / 0)

Could Sven possibly have forgotten such a "household" name?

(I didn't dare post the suggestion ;))

Re: jekyll and hyde (none / 1)

I've actually got Tannoys at home - I rescued a couple of big mothers from a failed studio years ago. I like my speakers loud, simple, heavy and flat - none of your sub-woofer nonsense ;-)

Steve Hillage uses one onstage mounted on a stand near his guitar so's he can get feeback whenever he likes without having massive on stage volume.

I've always wanted to try little speakers stuck to the bridge with a volume pedal to control it and see how that owrked.

Sympathetic strings (none / 1)

One of my old analog production tricks was to feed a recorded track back through a speaker at volume, and stick a tuned Strat live in front of it. And record the line from the Strat on a new track. This is the equivalent of sprinkling fairy dust.

BTW: it's Father's day and my daughter's birthday, so I haven't been able to focus on that site design brief yet .-(

Memories of Steve Hillage in concert back in smoky Parisian days. Great guitarist.

No - I'd never heard of them before.
