From the manufacturer...
The Harlequin MK1 is the amp that started the Cornford story. Launched in 1999 as the ultimate in recording studio tone, this versatile combo is still going strong a decade on. It's not hard to see why.
This 6 Watt combo sports all that's necessary to deliver your sound, without all the bells and whistles which are superfluous in the studio. Everything you need and nothing you don't. No reverb or FX loops here, but the sweetest route from guitar to those killer tracks you have in your head. Be it rock, blues, funk, jazz - clean, dirty, or somewhere in between - it's all a flick-of-the-switch away in the Cornford Harlequin. With a build quality of the highest order, this is a Class A point-to-point hand wired boutique amp to be proud of. Whether it's that unique Cornford sound, or it's unique stylish good looks, the Harlequin is a real head-turner.
Hi and lo inputs cater for all guitar pickup preferences. From there on, it's delightful simplicity all the way. A preamp volume pot takes care of drive, whilst a master volume pot takes the output volume from whisper quiet, neighbour-friendly level to a roar which belies this combo's 6 Watt rating. Tone shaping is powerful, but again, well controlled, with treble and bass pots taking care of their respective functions, whilst a two-position toggle switch sweeps the midrange focus. The myriad of tones available with different combinations of these three controls is quite staggering.
