The Jet City cabs are made "to the same specs as the USA Soldanos", so 11 ply birch.

Got it. My information does come from the source, so it's a moot point. Any perceived variance in tone must be based on guitar/pickup/tube compliment/bias/speaker/cabinet/room.

To those who have been wondering what is going on with Cornford Amplification. Cornford amplifiers are still in production, and are available for USA shipping. Sadly, the Cornford RK100 has been discontinued.

Where can I buy a Hellcat? Been looking for one.

The Hellcat is a Marshall-voiced circuit. It's a great amp, but it's cabinet dependent for bottom-end.
Yeah, I found the recommended straight V30's didn't quite get me there, but mixed with some T75's (and a mild BB+ boost) and I'm in heaven. Awesome amp, really would like to check out a MK50H II as well.

Yes, my Earhart 50 does sound really good. I never got a chance to a/b it to a MKII though.

Don't look too bad for a Jet City eh? :D

Martin Kidd's new designs have all been finalized and are approaching pre-production stage, so you may want to wait a bit. There is a 10 watt, 50 watt, and 100 watt included in the line-up - possible a 30 watt also.
 
Unless they revamp thier USA distribution, they aren't gonna sell very many here.
 
I think he's talking about Martin's new line - Victory Amps

Problem though.. it ain't Cornford...hell Cornford ain't Cornford anymore. So I guess it's worth a look.

I'd think though, if you happen to have a older Cornford that kicks ass, you better hang on to it because replacing it isn't going to be so easy.

Hey.. that gut shot up there of that MK50 II looks familiar .. :D..it's mine
