Valvolux T-shirts have ‘dropped’


After much pfaffing about they have finally and officially 'dropped'.

From somewhere in that rich field of knowledge that lies logically between mid 20th century literature and mid 20th century electronic engineering comes the new Valvolux Amplifiers T-shirt.

Puzzle your friends and exchange knowing nods with those rare individuals whose reading piles include schematic diagrams as well as Orwell novels.

If Orwell had been satirising an amp factory instead of a farm this might have come out of it as the Beam Power Pentodes decreed that silicon has no place in the complex society that is the output stage of a guitar amplifier.

Here for your viewing pleasure are the final three photos for the website, along with a few goofin' around outtakes from the photo session.

Many thanks to Juzzy for the ace photos which made me realise both how crap my camera, and my photographic skills are.
