This is pretty cool! The Japanese guitar magazine, Player, did a feature on the LA Amp Show and Henning Amps made the article. That's our own Curt (Chubtone) in the picture in the upper left hand corner of the image. Wish I knew what it said??:

I finally made it into a guitar magazine! :lol: :LOL:

Translation to English, though my Japanese is a little rusty:

"Henning Amplification unveiled the incredible, new Cherry Bomb 100 watt tube amplifier at the LA Amp Show in early October. The amp sounded incredible and drew roomfuls of listeners all day Saturday. The volume coming out of the Henning room drew the ire and consternation of fellow Amp Show displayers and attendees throughout the day. Many in the surrounding rooms playing 60 Million Yen custom shop Linenkugel strats, struggled to hear the nuanced, organic tones of the Ledbelter 6 Watt and the Kegel Squeezer 11 watt amplifiers. The owners of these companies were not amused. As we attempted to interview them, the sound of the opening riff from "Inside Out" by XYZ filled the lower floor for the umpteenth time that day.

When questioned if perhaps the stadium volume and the W-D-W-D-W-D-W-D-W rig set-up were perhaps overkill, company founder Steve Henning (former member of Hollywood glam rock legends Northstar) unveiled his new company half length baseball shirt and rock hard abs and said, "Everything I do is overkill!" Henning then launched into "Bark at the Moon" and sent Gear Page members scrambling hours earlier than planned to the Robben Ford gig at the Baked Potato."


Overall, I'd say that's a pretty good review Steve. What do you think?

Yeah, that pretty much covers it. I wish they'd have mentioned my deep bronze tan and baby soft skin, but these rags never get everything right...

Steve :lol: :LOL: :rock:
 
Steve,
Where can I get a copy of this magazine? As a rule, I have always collected any guitar magazine I appear in and now I can start that collection! :yes:

My understanding is that you can get it in Japan.

:lol: :LOL:

In all seriousness, I'd ask Loni Spector (lonster@earthlink.net) if he knows where you can get one - he has one and that is where I got the pictures. Loni runs the Amp Show if you don't remember. I'd actually like one, too! I'm glad they got you in the picture, you deserve it after all the work you put in killing it all weekend!

EDIT! Here ya go. You can buy it here: http://www.fujisan.co.jp/product/2364/ Best of luck! :lol: :LOL:

I just clicked on that link and it is all Japanese text. I did click on the little shopping cart icon though and gave all my credit card info. I just got a confirmation email and apparently I have just bought a new Subaru. ;)
 
Congrats man. That's awesome.

I think Curt's translation is a bit off. It actually says, "You play Henning...girls love you long time."

This or you and your family are on the next Japanese Game show. :lol: :LOL:

Congrats man. Japan is big on the "US" tone.... :yes:

My Japanese is a little rusty but I thought it read. "Steve is a fine warrior and we were honored to play his amp". Confusious said "if it's too loud your too old". he also added that the Henning amp is extremly loud and that he is very old, but this did not take anything away from the superb tones emmited from the "thunder box of the gods".
