The Cornford Harlequin is a 6 watt, class A, all tube amp that will kick your ass...with outstanding tone.
The Harlequin runs 12AX7 (2) and EL84 (1) tubes, encased in a solid pine cabinet, that pushes a Celstion Vintage 30 12" speaker. And the electronics? Hand-wired. The amp allows you control over volume, master, bass, treble, voice and two inputs - "Hi" and "Lo" to control the gain output.
You can run any guitar you want through this amp, but personally, the tone that is produced when you run an American Fender Strat through it, is absolutely remarkable. The Harlequin responds extremely well to the power of your attack, making the amp just as versitle and essential to your playing, as a Fender Strat. All styles work with this amp - rock, country, blues, jazz. Need some more gain? Throw a boutique pedal such as the Fulltone OCD or the ZVex Box of Rock in front of it and you'll be able to play any gig that slides your way.
Check out Cornford Amps website for more information on their products and listening samples - I strongly suggest Frank Gambale's "Being Frank," recorded on the Harlequin; it's quality.
