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?
