I agree, in as far as in these clips I just hear some low-end rumble and what sounds like someone playing bass guitar on a rubber band. To each their own – it's not meant as criticism of the style or player, rather that the videos and recording set-up don't really bring out the tone and melodic attributes of the amp. Lets hope some better clips show up soon. :dunno:
 
Sounds cool, but the other vid(in standard) is the that has me excited about this amp. The part with the tele doing the crunchy chords and nice clean stuff. You can really hear the quality and complexity of the amp in that one.

All this 7 and 8 string is cool and all, but it needs to be mic'd up properly to really hear what's going on.

Can't wait for Reza's demo!

I do not think they ALL sound like shit, but most of them do yes. The only 8-string I would care to see (even own) is one with a high-A instead of a pointless low F# or G.
 
who gives a shit about whether the guy's playing 7 or 8 stings? :thumbsdown: (but in Reza's defense - his clips are da bomb!!!)

all I care about is how much (USD$) and when??? :rock:

I think the main point he was trying to get at, or at least I was anyways, is that most people who demo amps with an 8-string only chug strings eight and 7, so all you ever hear is flub-flub as most use stupid-thin strings for that low of a note. Flub-flub is not exactly a great example of what an amp can do, that's all, I am not hating on 8-players and am a newly converted 7-player. :)
