Can you PLEASE find a picture of that.

That was back in '96. There was a matching cab too, but I didn't need it at the time.

Haha, no chance, sorry. If I could find another I'd buy it in an instant. Maybe I'll get a clone off Joe as a spare... Do you know what the tubes in it are? All the ones in mine are unmarked and Brian seems to be uncontactable these days. I visited the SJB workshop while mine was being built, Mr Jefferies was an interesting, and really nice guy. Very young wife, and he's never seen This is Spinal Tap.

As a point of interest, can you not sell your Euclid because you're so fond of its cock and balls, or because you find they repel prospective buyers?

Also, I've not forgotten I said I'd do you a silly world music CD, but I also haven't finished it. It's on the list for the weekend...

I had one when they came out, the bog standard Ant without reverb but it was a complicated ownership with a bandmate and it ended up being his after I bought a Telecaster off him. It's complicated. I really regret that...

If you search google the only search results for the ant are a schematic that shows what valves go where.

When I had my Euclid built, Sound Citys weren't valuable but they go for a fortune at the moment which is gutting. That said, I love the amp but I don't think some american boutique dude will buy an amp with a cock and balls on it:



Also, the presence knob is labelled "cum"

Fantastic.

I've seen that schematic, it's for a 30W version though, looks like a totally different layout from mine. I'll see if I can get the parts identified and figure out the circuit if you like?

Lets find out where Portishead are playing next year and nick theirs.

Park 15W practice amp
H||H Studio-100 Powerbaby 2x12 combo
H||H PA head
Hiwatt Lead 100
H||H VS Musician
H||H 30W 1x10 combo

soon to arrive:

Ceriatone 18W Marshall clone (Head)
and maybe Ceriatone 5E3 Deluxe clone (Head)

Selling the Hiwatt.

Would a faceplate from a Sound City 120 do you any good? I have no use for mine, other than to sell it.

Shitty Peavey practice amp
Shitty Crate practice amp
Marhsal JTM30

reallly weak . . .

Nah, it's cool, me and the Euclid are together for life. Plus it's 150watts. It's so loud its daft. I can't ever record with it because getting it up to sounding good leaks through onto the drums really badly even when it's in a supposed isolation booth so I have to 'downsize' to a 100 watt Marshall Super Bass. Happy times.

Joe's looking into doing a 30watt SJB/AC30 sort of thing with a 1x12 speaker, built in reverb and possibly a flip-top design (though he doesn;t know that yet). All done in red tolex with illuminated front panel (he doesn't know that either yet). To be called the Euclid 'Felix'.

+ Sears Silvertone 1481 - Studio only; the little guy was near death before I acquired it.
+ Fender Roc-Pro 1000 - It was a Fender, it was 100W, the ad with the guy from Redd Kross looked cool enough, and it was only US$500.
+ Peavey Rage 15 - I never asked my friend why he had an amplifier for no reason, so I didn't gripe about it being a Peavey when he just gave it to me.
+ Traynor TS-25 - My friend's wife was convinced that she was going to buy a guitar and learn to play it someday, and, in anticipation of this, kept this amp for close to 15 years in a closet. He loaned it to me after I blew up the Fender behind his wife's back, and even offered to sell it to me, but then she found out and back in the closet it went.
+ DaVinci (No model or serial #) - Apparently, DaVinci was an offshoot of Magnatone for the once burgeoning amplified accordian market. The three position LP filter control on the front panel seems to baffle everybody who comes across it.
