des infos plus précises postées sur le blog de Plank en mai 2006 :
[quote ]« Thom’s
main Amp is an AC30 special, hand built by David Petersen about six
years ago – a great amp similar to the ones built by him for Brian
May…………… Using standard new issue Vox blue speakers and a mixture of old
Mullard, Tesla and Phillips valves which are again special items burst
tested and supplied by Watford Valves, these guys are the best without
doubt – you can find loads of good valve / tube info on their website…….
www.watfordvalves.com&he….
amps were built from the bones of new AC306TB combos, completely
stripped out and hard wired right through with no pcb, tone controls
stripped out and using 2 vol controls only and 2 channels, 1 normal and
one boost……………..these are very powerful amps which we run at about 4 out
of 10 and angled up slightly so as not to take the heads of the front
row at shows !!……………. made a start on the precision bass body and
quickly remembered to go and buy a new dust extractor as the old one has
given up – which is the firrst job tomorrow morning !! »[/quote]
