New piece of gear: a Cornell Plexi combo

[FPA_687]

I've just received a new amp I have bought and I have been playing with it this weekend, so I wanted to share with you my first impressions.

The amp is this one:





It's a Cornell Plexi 18/20 combo in 1x12" format. It's sort of a replica from a Marshall 1974 model from the sixties, only with some enhanced features.

It's powered by two EL84 tubes, in push-pull class A.
Has got two modes: 18 and 20. At aprox. 18 watts, it works with a rectifier tube. In 20 mode, it works with solid state rectifier. It can also be put at a lower 5 watts power. See switches here:



It has got two channels: ch.1 Treble and ch.2 Normal. Just Volume and Tone controls on each:

Channel 1:

Channel 2:

Four inputs, the classic way, as you can see from the pics.

Finally, it's got a single Celestion Vintage 30 speaker, here you can see it along with the valves:
