[kj] For those who miss the old Geordie sound

[Tijs Keverkamp]

A question for the guitar-gear-geordie-freaks here;
what pre-amps did geordie use when he used the marshall 9200's?

> The Hat (our tipjar at KristinHersh.com).  Once we have the dough,  

> we’ll buy the guitar and have it shipped to Kristin.

> Here’s the fun part: once she has the new guitar, we’ll record an
