EQD: "Jonathan takes us on a guided tour of his recording space filled with plenty of junk, including a Thunderbird 50 Fountain Amp head, a rare New Zealand-produced amplifier."
Jonathan (in Talk About Your Junk blog post): "Sadly, when we’re going overseas, we can’t take our made-in-New-Zealand vintage valve amps with us, which we like to use here at home. Liz often plays through a Jansen amp here, and I have a Fountain. Ben has a Holden bass amp head that is fantastic, but no way is it flightworthy."
