An emerald green Aiken Intruder 30watt (el34) arrived in a big brown box this morning. Got it from Woodshed Vintage Guitars in Columbia for about £760 shipped - avoiding the VAT charge as well 
So far it sounds like it could be really cool - going from my Cornford with a gain, volume, and 2 band eq to a full marshall tonestack with two different gain conrols is a bit tricky, and I'm struggling to dial it in so far. But it seems to respond exactly the way my old 800 combo did, so I reckon I just need to fiddle with it. Anyone got any tips in that respect?
It doesn't seem that loud either - in my room I run it with the master at 12 o clock, which is like my Cornford with the master on 9 o clock.
Anyone else ever played these Aikens? I reckon it could be a winner
I could use some help dialling it in though - I am really going for Angus Youngs live tone.
Cheers
Al
