That's brilliant!!


Anyone here ever heard one of the kronzilla amps?


Sure while we're at it, I always love this piece of footage - When I saw the movie "robots" I thought of this:

$20,000+ for the 'Zilla Fran... $2,500 for a pair of tubes. Seems reasonable when you see what goes in. I believe they sound as staggering as they look, and punch way above the quoted 50 watts.

i have a friend who done some work on light houses a few years ago -he said that a remote light house that he went to on a helecopter had a box of valves this sort of style -the company he works for mainly take down buildings and remove asbesdos i dont know what he was doing on the light houses
a friend of mine who was a big hifi dealer in uk bought a mono amp with a larger than 845 valve of a circus it was used for pa and he said it was loads of power and was a bit pa, ish in sound
i can remember in the cloney forum a photo of one of the members sitting infront of something like this maybe someone else can remember
