Well it was interesting enough :D Some good tales from past workers at Jennings, also from 60s musicians.

Some animated diagrams about no NFB and why Vox sounded different. Nice shots of Mullard EL84s.

Brian May demoing "the tone" from clean to mean using the volume and controls on his guitar. Ian Lee the presenter nearly filled his shorts at being treated to a private demo of "Bohemian Rhapsody" from May :D
