THORPYFX SCARLET TUNIC £264
WHAT IS IT? A vintage Selmer amp emulation for early Pink Floyd sound and beyond
It may not enjoy the same kudos as an AC30, Plexi or HiWatt DR103, but the Selmer TruVoice Treble-N-Bass 50 was another fine British valve amp from the 1960s. This was the amp of choice of original Pink Floyd guitarist Syd Barrett, and can be heard on the opening notes of Interstellar Overdrive from the band's 1967 debut album, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Roll on 55 years from that album and Lee Harris, guitarist with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets band, wanted to recreate the exact tones and looked to Adrian Thorpe for help - the result is the Scarlet Tunic Analog Amp Emulator.
