Theo's an electronics engineer, working in North London and specialising in valves (vacuum tubes). He makes and modifies quality hi-fi, and unique, stunning audio processors. His workshop's amazing too, so after he built me the most detailed distortion box I've ever seen, I asked if I could make a film about him and his work. Contact Theo through www.tube-electronics.co.uk, or me at film@museumoftechno.org

i just had one of those moments when I can can absorb intense flow of information in short time and enjoy them for that reason. Is that how you find the direction to the big questioned purpose of being? Thanks for the video.
To be honest, I think there's an argument for saying that the purpose of being is literally unknowable, and (like the Buddhists say) our best chance for happiness or salvation comes from a direct perceptual connection to the present moment, without generating linguistic thoughts in response to it.
theo had my jcm2000 for 2 months. it was definately worth it. valves accentuate audio such a musically harmonious way that i'm surprised that amps like the tranny marshalls, the line 6 stuff and things of the like are still bought today. no matter how good digital emulations can get, a valve emulator is still not powered by a valve so the audio is projected and reacts in a different way. simple.
since when did false marketing rule the world...? oh. yeah, i forgot. for a while now.
Well: I told Theo what I wanted, after looking at some other designs he's made in the past, and he designed the circuit. For instance, I wanted a feedback loop and stereo (which, thinking about it, probably upped the price!)... If you fancy bopping around and having a look sometime, drop us a message!

So you had to design it? I would hope one gets some help in this process. What choices does this involve?
