If I told you that Geoff, I'd be destroying my niche market. Suffice to say
that they used triodes with more than three electrodes ... d;~}

mentioned.

Maybe Marshall, Gibson, Fender, Peavey and others ship their bad batches to
Australia deliberately or maybe you have been leading a charmed existence.

** Jim Marshall visited Australia a number of years back, did interviews
with the trade press and gave a presentation to an audience of industry folk
in Sydney.

Before Jim accepted any questions, the MC gave a stern warning to the
assembled audience that Jim was not involved in the design or manufacture of
Marshall amps and that no questions about the notoriously poor design or
appalling reliability of the amps would be allowed.

Wise move.

Let me guess... instead of using thorium as a dopant in the filaments
to enhance electron emission, they used quadmium, right?

I figure you could get an extra 20 to 30 quid an amp if you offered to
upgrade them from a maximum of 10 to 11. :-)

How did you know that, huh ? Well that's just great. Now you've told
everyone, and my plans to dominate the music world with one notch upgrades,
are in shreds. Cheers pal ...
