Cornford Carrera Combo
This amp is the ideal canvas for you to create your perfect guitar tone on. This little beauty with your favourite guitar & pedal selection plugged into it will rock your world! The Cornford Carrera is low enough in power to get those searing solo sounds in either the home or studio, but it has the balls to work as a great small gigging amp. Such a versatile amp - you just switch the tubes around & all of a sudden it's like owning a new amp! Unlike most modern tube amps, the Cornford Carrera features a Class A tube power section & is hand wired point to point, rather than using PCB's (printed circuit boards). This ensures that you get the absolute purest tube tone out of your tube amplifier. Paul Cornford is a great amp maker & top bloke too - come & try the amp out today.
