paul_5 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think he's selling an amp (or three, I'm not sure) which may or may not have a 'almost no distortion' switch. That feature sounds almost useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 So he's a Chinese amp designer who used to buy in Chinese valve amps, mod them and sell them on. Now he has a small factory in Margate and an ex Telecoms van and makes it all in house. He is now the best Amp and speaker maker in the Universe. Simples....
