Thunderbird Club

early version originally called Klystron....BADAZZ.....single channel pre, unlike the on in the pic with dual full independent channels....can't beat the tone of these things....this one is configured using one preamp driving 2 of the EVO (550 W) cards.....


Thay amp is a beast, I remember trying one out in a shop in Portland.

You need an Alembic 😁

Ha! But it's blue! And I have a soft spot for slow cars that have trouble staying out of their own way. Although I have owned a couple fast Volvos over the years…but they were turbos.

I have a 26 year Subaru, does that count?
 
A while back I had the Ashdown EVO 300 2x10 combo made in the UK. It was a fantastic sounding amp (nice and deep with dark but clear lows and plenty of punch) but unfortunately it was also fantastically heavy. Casters helped on level surfaces but stairs were a royal PITA.

If I were to look for another I'd start with the Klystron line, Reverb has a nice one on the block at a good price…

I can understand that. I only have one combo and it's a small one. One big enough to sound to my liking would be a pain to move around. In fact I've only owned two combos. Much prefer heads and cabs.
 
Lack of deodorant (according to a friend who visited there). That was one thing she really had a hang up about. But that was a number of years ago.
I know it's not generally a thing there but doin't recall ever noticing a problem. The one thing I recall not loving was fish with eyeballs (and essentially everything else). But that's pretty easy to avoid.
