steve k	Re: Bedrock questions (please read) Just want to add Bedrock had some good sounding amps but their quality was not consistent from what I've seen. They are definitely out of business but someone has bought the rights I believe and can't remember who. I believe it was another amp company... I thought it was another local (to me in Mass) Co. so I'll see if I can find out... I don't remember seeing or reading about any class A el84 Bedrock amps before but who knows???. But it was probably a class ab type like the Peaveys and such. So my guess is that you'd be pushing the transformers trying to use them in a Vox AC30 type amp. These are real power pigs, run hot, and need some pretty heavy iron. But I'll bet they'd work great for an AB1 type amp. And sound great and loud! Good luck with it, steve k
