Amp was made in 2008, I think Im the 1st person in the country to purchase one from a store (US).
The amp is very versatile for a one channel amp. I have it set for a clean with my guitar volume at half, a good beautiful drive on full, and hitting the boost puts you in amazing lead territory. Great effects loop. 30 watts, but a good 30 watts. 2 el34 tubes and 3 12ax7.

UPDATE 8/15/08:
This is the same guy that reviewed this amp a while ago (first post). I realize now that if the ratings went to eleven (like the tone of this thing), I would rate it that. Its better now than when I bought it.

This amp is incredible.

I play with a dean ml limited run, bareknuckle in the neck, tonezone in the bridge, all mohagony, set neck. This amp is FAT, and juicy!!!!!!!!!!!!! After going through countless boogies and Diezels, I now know that the only other amp Ill buy...Is cornford.

Cleans are beautiful, some of the best, full, fat, clean,pristine, all of the above, and much more.

Its overdrive is STELLAR!!! Reminds me somewhat of the lonestar, but with alittle more on tap, and smoother, more fluid, very easy to play (unless your technique is off, it will let you know). Best overdrive Ive ever heard in an amp. Can be raunchy, or smooth and full of mids, and perfect articulation.

With th boost on and gain cranked, its the best lead sound Ive ever played on (only to be shared with a mark 4), but this things fatter. So smooth with great harmonics, this thing is full of Elven Magic. For anyone looking for an amp that does rock in spades, and looking for a lead tone that can do andy timmons/petrucci/SRV/Van halen, this is it man. Killer!

Reliability : 10

Cornford...THE BEST!

Overall Rating : 10
Playing for 15 years, Ive owned too much...And Ive spent too much. this amp makes me wonder why I spent 2 and 3 thousand on other amps...This is so organic and rich.
