update: the amp had been working all along, it turned out that the lead we used to connect the head to the cab was faulty. When playing a little, i noticed a slight ring (which turned out the be somthing loose in the cab), so we tried running it on 225V - After a while playing it smoked and made some horrible noises (not Good). I think im going to leave the amp a while, to let it cool down, and then try it again on 250V. Fingers crossed getting it working again wont envolve me paying 20,000 pounds to get it fixed. shit.

Hi, my carlsbro amp head arrived this morning, but it doesn't seem to be working. The 4 valves were packed seperately inside the case, so i 'installed' them, and took it over to my freinds house, where my cab was. The ohm rating of my cab is 8 ohms, and the closest setting on the amp was 7.75, so i used that. The mains settings on the amp are 110, 225 and 250, so i used 250. When i switched it on, the pilot light lit up which was encouraging, but... When i played the amp made strange noises, a kind of rattling, appartently my friend could see the valves blinking. Has anybody got any idea what's wrong with it? please help me if you can, im very sad.

good. yes.

sure do.

The shows in manchester and london should be great. I cant wait.

'The W' is the worst example of recorded music i have ever heard. i would rather have edward scissor hands repeatedly slap me in the face than watch them play live.

im sure atp will be great. the bill is close to unbelievable. unfortunatley i can't go to see Cat Power in Edinbrugh AND atp. Sy's new album should be out soon anyway, i'd rather leave the shattering dissapointment till then. this plane is definitely crashing.
