A good hard WHAT, Martingle?

Anyway,

See the MP3 Audio Samples section for comparisons of the two Mark IIs 
we had on-hand that day --- Jerry's Mark I (Crimson all the way) and 
Frank's Mark II, which was Pinderized.

2:35 in the "Julia and Sharayah Compared" snippet really tells it all.

Sorry, this was just stuff we recorded during the MONEYPIT as we were 
messing about with the machines.  It's cool hearing "Peak Hour" on 
one of the actual Pindertrons, though.  The sound is all "hair on the 
back of your neck standing up" kind of stuff when there in 
person...even without the Marshall stack!  :-)

M400 #805 - stayed home for that event
M400 #1037 - there...but shunned!
