sneak peek

Our first batch of 5w Valve Amps have been made and will arrive in August.

We'll start with these combos then introduce heads + cabs down the track. Prelim costings have them around $330RRP.

Something missing? Yes! A PBG badge.

Can anyone recommend someone in Aus who can make stamped metal badges we can screw to the front/top panel?

With that distinctive diamond grill cloth, how are you going to badge it? As it's a Valve amp and Australian, can I suggest VOZ?

haha, love it... afraid I was thinking more traditional with the VC-5 (valve combo 5 watt). Although that has probably been done to death.

How are you feeling post-election Simon? Hung parliament is big news over here. Welcome to our world of minor party influence.

Its not a great result, but for me, a better result than it would have been had the Conservatives had a majority. Like most people, none of the parties really represented my views, though I'm anti-Tory and more on the Labour side, though Labour were making spending promises there was no way the country could have afforded without creating a huge deficit. One thing I didn't expect was for Tory gains in Scotland, where I expected the Scottish Nationalist Party to sweep the board this time. In my view they are the party with the most realistic policies. Had this not happened, a Labour-led coalition would have been more likely.

The good news is that a soft Brexit is now far more likely, with a better outlook for the country economically (I'm very anti-Brexit, though the EU does need a severe overhaul). The bad news now is that it looks like the Conservatives have enough seats to try running the country with the aid of the Ulster Unionist Party, though by a very slim margin. It may fail in practice and we may all be back voting again in a few months.

Laney did have a VC range of amps, the VC-15 and the VC-30 (which were Vox-styled with diamond grille cloth), though they seem to have recently disappeared from their catalogue (though the run-out amps are still available in shops). Maybe something more unique than VC-5?

Maybe dog related e.g. the Pitt Bull Pup?

Clearly, as it has an orangey/red case, and continuing the canine theme:

Blue Heeler by Pitbull.

EDIT:

Blue Heeler by Pitbull - for Sounds with Bite.

August is perfect timing. My missus should have calmed down enough after I just got a PB-4 and MK-2 kits. Will definitely look into ordering one if I am out of the dog house by then
