Dan's work is not only clean and superb... but hes such a good guy as well. He's a great player, takes pride in knowing 'real' players rigs and knows how to achieve the tone the client wants. I tried to buy back my Killer Kali++ but buyer won't let it go.. which is smart. Wish I NEVER did. Amp could retain the JCM stock kerrang and metallic bite... and cover everything from classic rock to modern... even metal (tho I don't tread much in those waters). If my finances and situations ever improve, I will be getting Dan to mod another for me... or buy one already Gower modded!

I need one amp to do it all, clean to dirty, tube loop, line out, the works...too bad the exchange rate and shipping/customs costs suck so hard :-(

I had a few of the older style cali mods a 50 watter cali which was superb and a couple of 100 watters which were also great and I owned a rockmonster.
EVH and pretty much any type of 80s marshall vibe can be found in the cali mods.
I have in the past owned just as many camerons and Dans amps will wipe the floor with quite a few of the camerons I Have owned including three of the CCV that I owned.
Reliability is rock solid and his workmanship and attention to detail and neatness in layout is absolutely f.ing incredible... Looking inside one of his amps is like looking at a work of art.
Dan will build and amp tailored in every way to suit specific requirements.

AC/DC to EVH to very early early Metallica. Don't look for anything past RTL in one. That said, Dan is a class act and is very good and detailed at what he does. Many men also love Dan's hair.
