Cornford Hurricane head.

Yeah, I know. I've just built it, but I'm hankering after another project. I've been agonising, but if I sell it I can maybe build an amp from scratch, which I'm dead keen to do. It may be the first Hurricane made, I'm not sure, but it's certainly very, very early. Anyway, check out my thread in the modding section, and as for price, well I'm starting at £400.

    EDIT: The head comes with a new Hot Covers cover, and here's some new piccy's -

    And I'd appreciate a reply to my last message. Or are you just wasting my time?

    A simple "I'm not interested" will suffice. Play nice, please.

    I've actually been out all day with limited access to the forum via my phone. I don't sit at home in front of  my computer all day waiting for messages as i like to get out on the weekends.I was just about to pm you but was notified of this comment first. I'm sorry if you class this as wasting your time!

    I will be honest that i'm not sure i want to wire you £400 with that attitude so i will decline your sale.

    Best of luck with the sale!

    And I'm not sure I'd be wanting to sell it to you either. You had plenty of opportunity on Saturday, when you were dead keen, but failed to reply when I said it wasn't going anywhere until I had the money. Still, if you want to hide behind the old "limited access" chestnut, that's your choice, however I noted you were active at 3.47pm yesterday. Good luck with your amp searching.

    Yes, the details are in the making and modding section.

    Cool project, looks well done aswell. I may be interested if my mesa sells. Whats the gain range like on one of these, i used to rock the RK100 which was a total volume monster but had all the gain i ever needed!

    I think it's fair to say I put a hell of a lot of effort into making it, so thanks for the kind comments.

    Hmmm.....difficult to say about the Hurricane gain, but it's not as much as the Hellcat which I had before, and I've never tried an RK100, so I can't comment there. I'd say it's enough for most rock, but it's not a 'metal' amp, I reckon you'd need a distortion pedal for that. Maybe check out Youtube?

    One of Chilli's Rock Candy vids is still up 



    I bought mine partly on the strength of this sound.  It's a keeper.  For the life of me I can't understand why Chilli wants to move it on.  It's one of those "I used to have a Hurricane, but I sold it.  Wish I hadn't" things, I think.

    Smoother than the Hellcat, keeps up well against a polite band (not tried in a heavier context or against a 100 watt stack, but it surprised the hell out a Vox owner who wouldn't let me soundcheck until I cranked it and scared the shirt off him).

    Cacofonix's Hurricane used to be mine and if he ever sells it he must contact me first!

    Great amp, glad to see it's still with you and going strong my friend!

    Very tempted by this TBH

    Hi Mate, 

    I never get tired of the sound, and it's played everything from Shadows to Gary Moore, AC/DC and Specials.  Amazing.

    If I ever sell it, I promise to come to you first.

    Keep meaning to get to one of your gigs, but you know how it is.  Let me know when you're next up and I'll make an effort to get along.

    Cheers.

    p.s. Another demo here:
