^ ^ i wouldn't say all music shop guys are dicks... like most things, it depends on the shop, and depends on the people. Some of the shops round here are great, and one or two aren't so good.

:drink:

everytime i've played a cornford they sound really buzzy and horrible?? i heard them on the website clips and they still sound the same, so i went to music live and tried them out there and still i thought they sounded pretty damn horrible.. is it just me?!

Most of the guys in Coda who i have met were great, especially that guy at Stevenage with the long brown hair who has a trendy/hippie kinda thing going on lol. I don't think i've seen the long blonde haired guy.

Tones are a personal thing....

Personally I think Cornford’s are among the best amps in the world in terms of a pure, organic and very responsive tone. However that has little to do with how you may perceive them.....if they don’t do it for you that’s all good....each to there own.

Just out of interest do you consider the tones on Guthrie Govan’s cd to be "buzzy and horrible"?

I heard Jamie Humphries at last years Music Live and his tone was amazing, and was using a Cornford of some description..

I think Jamie Humphries favours the mk50 (mk50 II now its been released maybe) but dont quote me on it. :)

I tried a hellcat last year and wasn't that impressed, but this year tried a hurricane and loved it. My ear for tone has changed pretty drastically since then, though.

alternatively, you just don't like 'em... which is fair enough. most people like different tones... i wouldn't say it's anything wrong with you, lol.
