| 22 March 2002 |
| |
|
More additions to the JHL Backline Department…. Two digital grand piano's! One from Yamaha, the DGT7A, and one from Roland, the KR-1077. Both these Digital Grands play and sound like fine acoustic pianos, with the added bonus that they never go out of tune (unless you want them to!) These pianos have been used recently by The Corrs, Stereophonics, David Gray, Lionel Richie, Tom Jones, and Shirley Bassey to name but a few!! No piano tuner required!

| Dweezil's amp! It looks like a car!! |
| 22 March 2002 |
| |
|
"The road you take to achieve cool tone is as individual as you are"..the manual starts...and there has never been anything as individual as this! The "Wiggy", designed by Dweezil Zappa, is a visual delight, and after the initial plug in, we can confirm that it sounds great too! With controls labelled "RPM", "MPH", "OIL" and "BATT", and a 5 band graphic which gives either "more" or "less", the Wiggy is the amp for you if you like to stand out from the crowd, both visually and audibly! It even has hazard lights! The cabinet is a 2x12, in a diagonal configuration, which makes it nicely smaller than a 4x12 and larger than the traditional 2x12, making the Wiggy stack a winner! ...wonder what Frank would've made of it?...

JHL have just taken delivery of a batch of QSC Powerlight amplifiers to upgrade their main PA racks. The purchase of the PL236 and PL6.0 PFC units came after a lengthy evaluation of a number of different amplifiers with their existing EAW speaker systems.
Having expanded our main EAW KF850 system at our sister operation in Dubai, we shipped our existing Crest racks out to power it. The amplifiers were supplied by HW International. HW’s Graham Logue said "We are delighted that JHL picked QSC to power their systems, it’s good to see another high end sound company selecting QSC amplification"
