Tube Amp Archive

Thank you for being so sympathetic, Ken! It's nice to know that you understand my problems :roll: Talking about your experience in Italy.. Well, that's quite the same with me, for instance, when I travel to England! During the first week I usually have to get used to speaking english all the time, a...

Thanks Ken and Paul! Now we know my friend was right, actually yours is a confirm about what he thought "lead dress" meant. Actually we tried with Google Translator (...) at first, but it gave us the italian for "a dress made of lead" :lol: : we knew there was something wrong, of course! @Ken: I'm s...

Thanks again!

Hi everybody! My name's Matt and I'm Italian. I came into this forum while searching for informations about Trainwreck Amps.
