"Most definitely a studio amp. You wouldn’t dare take it on the road and even if I wanted to, Danny Evans wouldn’t let me! You need to service it every two months, but it’s worth it. It’s an amazing amp and the spring reverbs are brilliant.

I’ve never found a plugin or pedal that comes close to the sound. You get hiss and fizz because it’s an old amp, which drives Craig up the wall. He likes stuff clean and pure, but I like that bit of dirt in the sound. When we were recording he’d ask whether I had another amp because of the noise, but I held my ground. It has a great tremelo on it as well."

The reliable one. That ability to link channels to mix a clean sound and an overdrive is a real bonus. All through recording I wanted to avoid using pedals where I could use the amps direct, and the sound from this features all over the new album [Little Fictions]. It just sounds better than a pedal sound, end of!
