These heritage series are great! Nice amp collection you have there Wshad! Thanks, Musicjunkie. There aren't too many of the TVs around, so I'm surprised you have one. That's great. They are very specialized amps, particularly the EF86 channel. Do you play very early 1960s music?
I'm afraid we're just amateurs and don't gig, Musicjunkie. The guitar band is Walking Shadow, but Walking Shadow is part of a larger musical group called The Madeleine Cookie Company. Both are composed of mostly amateur musicians and get together only once in a while to do a show. The goal is to try to cover 1960-1963 pieces exactly as recorded, including the tone of the guitars. That is why we need the Heritage Vox amps, as the very early Shadows pieces used the EF86 circuitry. It's a difficult goal to work for, but we try, even if not successfully. It’s fun to do.
Here is a video from a show Walking Shadow did five years ago. We used a handwired Vox there, the model before the 5oth Anniversary series; the last Vox amps made in England I think. Excuse the amateurish playing, please!
