I've got the half-stack on order and am really looking forward to hearing it. Must be a monster of an amp. Jan 21 Friday will be the launch party for the amp here and Richie's trio will be the headliner and perform a full set. Should be awesome! _________________ Ed Yoon

I hope you can tape that performance
I love the simplicity of Cornfords. I wonder what tubes the RKs will be packing. |

Whoooah, sweet. Richie's one of my favorite players, and seeing as it's a Cornford, I'm sure this amp is gonna kick ass. Can't wait to hear it. |

Paul C just advised me that the RK100 should be leaving soon along with the rest of the Cornford goodies I have on order - and it's a big order. Can't wait to try this monster out! _________________ Ed Yoon

Well, the whole foundation of Cornford Amps is about players being able to pull out a lot of great sounds without a lot of circuitry, channels, knobs, etc. Cornford Amps are for players who rely on their hands (mainly dynamics) and the knobs on the guitar to create a wide variety of good tones from simply-laid out amps. _________________ Ed Yoon
