In-Tune Magazine Oct 1985

"On the BLUE SUEDE MUSIC stand along with Tokai was their newly acquired FERNANDES line, including the long awaited Alembic copy which, some would have it, rivals the real thing. It's not cheap (possibly around £1,400), but it is good! Fernandes generally are looking like becoming the prestige copy range from Blue Suede. Still with the same crew, watch for the 'original BILL LAWRENCE' pickup range, now being made in West Germany and in the shops very soon, likewise the re-emergence of the legendary HIWATT range - all valve powered and undergoing a lot of development from the Hiwatt/Blue Suede team. The bass amps (always among the world's finest valve bass types) remain the same, but the pre-amp stage of the Hiwatt lead amps is being changed to allow a 'looser' feel with better distortion/overload 'breathing', especially at lower volumes. Good to see Hiwatt back, isn't it? With luck, new models should be on the market within a couple of months."
