Funniest thing I've seen all week:

ENCORE guitar amplifier

Sporky · February 16

That is awesome-cool.

Alex2678 · February 16

Where’s the handle??

thecolourbox · February 16

I think i'd happily use that, if it sounded as cool as it looks!

I love the look of it. But it is apparently $40,000 US dollars!

So I will have to admire from afar...

Kalimna · February 16

Reminds me of Dweezil Zappa's old Peavey Wiggy amp. Top stuff.

Kurtis · February 16

Seems a bit unnecessary.

adamino · February 16

Moonbase Alpha Space 1999 jukebox?

This is counterintuitive to me because every music brand called Encore that I can think of has been budget quality at best.

And now I’ll never be able to unsee it.:-)

How disappointing… inside that remarkable retro-futuristic exterior, there’s yet another boring hand-wired valve amp - only with unnecessary bling and crap.

I’ll take the Wiggy please.

I love his basses. True works of art. Amazing to play, even more amazing to look at.

exocet · February 16

But €30,000 of that is in the mains lead? It appears to be equipped with a Russ Andrews "Powerkord" !!!

The "tubes encased in ice-matte" appear to be bog standard aluminium covers that have been roughed up a bit with sand paper...
