   Hey, we're tekkies here - we're interested in lots
   of stuff  :-)

   From May's sound, it's clear the amp has a somewhat
   exaggerated higher-end response with some interesting
   harmonics. A lot of the older transistor amps had
   a kinda 'hard' sound too and kinda heavier on the
   odd harmonics. Dunno if that was inherent, or
   by-design - intentionally emulating the AC30 sound.

   The Pink Floyd story IS interesting though. They
   were kinda good MUSICIANS, but kinda CRAP with
   their chosen instruments. Created something very
   different from the usual mix ..... I wonder if
   an 'AI' would have done the same, or striven
   for technical accuracy above all else ?
