Hey everybody!
Here is a demo I did for Kyle Rhodes of his Colossus 100 watt tube amp. It is a killer amp with a lot more going on then what I did in the video but I only had time to knock out this one clip. The demo is of the high gain brutal nature (natch
) but this amp also has an incredible clean channel as well as excellent mid gain tones. The amp is in the vein of the Diezel Herbert in my opinion, and is tighter and meaner if you can believe it. It has tons of low end, seriously more than you could possibly ever need, and when dialed just right is super tight and percussive. It is not a Marshall voiced amp. This amp is loaded with JJ 6L6GCs and has external bias test points and bias pot. It also all MIDI programmable. All mini toggles on the amp can be triggered via MIDI except for the bright switches. Very cool. Kyle also has a footswitch available for the amp as well as his own switching system for all of his products. 
The amp has 4 channels. Clean, Crunch, Lead 1, and Lead 2. Crunch, Lead 1, and Lead 2 all have lo/hi gain switches that really almost add up to 3 more channels! Lead 1 and 2 both have fat switches which to my ears add some low mids, around 250hz or so. I found this useful for single note soloing as it fattens up the notes. I used that setting on the solo in the clip. The rhythm in the clip was done on Lead 2 with the gain switch in the high mode, of course! Gain was about at 1 o'clock. The settings are in the picture in the vid.
Kyle has a really great amp here. Extremely versatile and looks like it is very well made to me. It has been shipped around the country quite a bit over the last few months and it is still ticking with no problem.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
