A couple who flew to for a family wedding were 'held hostage' and forced to take out a €4,000 (£3528) loan when they accidentally damaged a marquee. Rosie and Jack Deverson have described the 'terrifying interrogation' they endured at Villa Silvana near Sorrento, in which they were locked behind iron gates for four hours. Their ordeal started when Jack, 24, threw sparklers over a balcony which had not completely gone out, to avoid being burned by them, at the August wedding. But the hot rods landed on the wedding marquee, erected for Rosie's cousin's big day. Office manager Rosie Deverson took out a loan which will take two years to pay off 'But as soon as we got there the gates were locked behind us. It was a horrible situation and we were told the damage would cost €8,000 (£7056) to fix.
'They made us sign documents which said we were solely responsible for the damage. 'We were completely intimidated and we would not have been able to leave without paying €4,000 there and then.' The damage was small burn marks, according to the couple who had used the sparklers provided for guests while the cake was being cut. Rosie said: 'I made the payment on their card machine.
I felt terrified. I've now got a loan that will take me two years to pay off.' 'I couldn't wait to get home, it was just awful. 'We're both distraught and I never want to go to Italy again. It ruined the wedding for me.'
Rosie also claims that venue bosses made the couple hand over their address and passports, and were told to expect a bill for the remainder of the cash at home. Now safely back at home, Rosie and Jack have done all they can to seek legal help from solicitors and have contacted the police both here and in Italy, to no avail. However, the villa staff said they planned to bill them soon for the other half.
The Deversons contacted the police in the UK and in Italy and have consulted a lawyer.

The VOX Valvetronix VT50 is a 50W combo amp that gives you 22 amp models ranging from the latest high-gain types to hard-to-find boutique and vintage amps. The VOX VT50 amplifier also boasts a full complement of effects, allowing it to cover the needs of a wide variety of styles and performance techniques. The VOX Valvetronix includes 66 preset programs, including 22 song programs that simulate the guitar sounds of famous guitarists.
Even beginning players can enjoy serious guitar sound right away. The VOX Valve Reactor circuit is the key factor that separates Valvetronix amplifiers from other modeling amps. The 100% analog original power amp circuit actually has the same power amp circuit as a full-tube amp, using a 12AX7 miniature triode to reproduce a distinctive tube amp sound unattainable by digital technology.
In other words, it replicates aspects that have an important influence on the sound of a tube amp, such as the power amp's class A/AB operation and the interaction of the power stage with the speaker. You get not only the response of the original amp's power amp circuitry, but also the power amp's distortion as well as the nuances and subjective sound pressure of a full-tube amp.

I have a Marshall SG30 but it died last night.
Any Suggestions? DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE sg30, what is it? Probably fixable! I have tried the Roland Cube amps. I don't like them, try before you buy! For that kind of money, look out for a S/H valve jobby An off the wall solution we came up with was to buy a small valve/solid state amp with a line out, and then feed this into a discreet amp and cab.
One of the units from Maplin filled the bill nicely, used an 8ohm box so the amp would have a long service life (the toroidals which power these are under specced) and for small gigs/practice you don't need to drag the whole nine yards around.

And, somewhat later.they were Fender (Deluxe, Deluxe Reverb, Twin Reverb, Bassman).;) But, you know what.any good amp (especially tube) will work, just fine, with a Casino. No 'High Gain' amps, unless they have a great 'clean' channel, as Casino's feed back to easily, for 'High Gain' use. CB Hi CB, Your right too.
My intent was to keep it more to the time period The Beatles were using the Casino as a main guitar. As you pointed out, later it was Fenders; but also a wider range of guitars. Epiphone Les Paul Std Ltd.

I also have a Vox AC15 and I swear to god I can't put the master past 12 o clock (if my gains on full) or else I'll have police at my door, the AC4 on the other hand still has the ability to get freakishly loud, but it's never too loud meaning you can really push the power tubes at reasonable volumes. It has a built in attenuator so you can get play at either 4 watts, 1 watt or 1/4 watts without sacrificing any tone, which makes it ideal for practicing at home. But in my opinion it's even more ideal for recording and playing gigs at small venues. You can buy the head/cabinet or the combo (which has a custom 10' celestion speaker built in) I bought the combo as it's very light and convenient to carry around, it also doubles as a head as you can plug it into any 16ohm speaker loaded cabinet, and boy does it sound good through a 4x12 greenback loaded cabinet!!! Here's a video demonstrating the sort of sound the combo version of the amp produces.
