So, I have a Dunwich amp being built in the next few months and I need a name! Here are the specs of the beast:

Two channels, clean and crunch, with separate EQ controls
KT88 and 6CA7 power section. The Kt88's will put out around 85 or 90 watts and the 6CA7's will put out around 45.
Marshall Super Lead/Super Bass input
Sunn Model T ultra-linear transformer/output section
FML tone stack with an Orange style midrange control and Depth knob
Resonance and Presence
Effects loop

Anyway, are there any ideas for names? A friend suggested something like 'The Pikey' because of their (possibly untrue) history as bare knuckle boxers where their right arm would be stronger than their left because they haven't been trained properly, which would tie in with the switch that changes the voltages for the KT88's and 6CA7's.

Someone else suggested 'Harvey' or 'Dent' after I mentioned the possibility of Two Face as a name because of the 'split personality' the amp will have, but I thought Two Face was maybe a bit too cheesy.

There is also the 45-90 Sharps Ammo round. I live in Ireland so I've never touched a gun in my life, but it seemed to fit in terms of numbers.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Didnt we think of dual EQs in this amp?

If so your clean channel would be FMV, and dirt channel would be Baxandall

I think, "The Dick Blower" is appropriate.

On the outside it'll just be an amp and will sound like one. It's not narcissistic.

Oh yeah, that's right. I said FML by accident. I was mixing up Fender-Marshall-Vox with Fuck-My-Life.

how's shipping on that looking? i'm thinking about a clone of my gibsonette and i'd like to go ILF with my moneys.

also, dia duit.

I don't know exactly until it's built and quoted. It'll probably be about $300. Nick uses some heavy shit, so I doubt it'll be cheap. The custom duties and taxes are also going to be a lot. Honestly, though, there isn't any one over here who can build me what I want for any less. I also get along with Nick really well, so it makes no sense to pay some guy I don't know or don't have anything in common with €2500 when I can pay €2000 to someone I do know and get along with. The only thing that concerns me is, if anything needs changing or breaks I'm fucked.

Honestly, as long as you're buying something that you can't get in Europe, buy from wherever you need to/want. If it's a pedal then you probably know how to avoid taxes and absurd shipping fees, but with guitars, amps and cabinets, you need to splurge in order to keep it safe. It's just life, and you know probably know this, too. In other words, if your dream rig or what have you can only be made in America, buy it and pay what you need to pay. But if it's available in the UK or EU, buy it from there. Pedals are different, though, as I mentioned.

it's got two sides, and Orange on one side...call it Falls Road, or Bombay Street.

That's EXACTLY the type of thing I was looking for. Thanks, man!

Shankill Road has bonus "kill."

I wouldn't want to go TOO far because I'm a Brit living in Ireland and some people might be... offended.

there is that. i was afraid i was going overly sensitive already.

no clue hahahaha
