Cornford were a British amp company who closed shop in 2010, headed up by Martin Kidd who now is Victory Amps.
This amp is 2004 build, signed by Martin.
I bought this amp as just the chassis from a Hellcat combo.
I had Achillies Amps build me a new headshell for it and also put in a new Accutronics reverb tank as per original specs. Four matched EL84 JJ's in the output section. It looks and sounds a million bucks.
Channel One is almost a hybrid of a Vox AC30 and a Soldano SLO on lower gain settings. Great compression and old school British grind with a modern edge, which easily goes from rich clean to heavy drive.
Channel Two picks up from there and gets into high gain liquid filth, think JCM800 with again, that Soldano edge. And the clarity. I've never played an amp that lets you hear every string even at extreme gain settings.
These amps are not easy to find.
I'll sell this beast for $2200 or will trade for guitars or amps of equal calibre.
