GNO 100-White Stallion Prototype Sound Samples

After two and half years of prototyping, tuning, redesigning, arguing, tweaking, and testing, Gnome Amps is proud to present the sound of the GNO100 White Stallion!

We got one of our favorite local guitarists, Oscar from Christian Mistress, to come down after a hard night of raging to record some sound samples. Needless to say, we are impressed with his hangover-shred.

The clips here move through the highest gain setting for some lead work to a lower gain setting for some soft jazz… Oscar is using a Les Paul for the first through third clip and I played some rhythm stuff on a Peavy Vandenburg for the fourth clip.

Max and I designed this amp to give screaming high gain but retain the dynamics of the player. Dynamics are too often squashed and compressed-away in high gain amplifiers, resulting in a lifeless wall of tone. The result totally blows us away! Give us some feedback, what do YOU think?

Kelton Hammer July 22, 2010 at 5:41 pm: Hey, I’m Kelton and I’m really interested in the new amp you are producing. I saw your vids on youtube. I’m in a metal band and it sounds really sick. I’m looking for a new amp, because my little 30 watt amp isnt enough. Do you think I could test it out myself?

Thanks, Kelton

Glad you like amp! Let’s definitely set up a time for you to swing by and demo it. Just send me an email (dan at gnomeamps.com) and we can set it up.

Thanks,
Dan
