And it fucking slays! Some buds from "another" forum had an ampfest in CA today and Steve brought 2 Bottle Rockets, a Cherry Bomb and cab out. I didn't try the CB but I DID take the Bottle Rocket for a few laps around the block!

I gotta tell you, it SCREAMS! Just massive, pissed off hard rocking tone! Between picking dynamics, use of volume knob on the guitar and the dual gain knobs there are a LOT of tonal options. It sounds great and feels like it's built for war. Can't wait to spend some more time with it in the near future.

Also got to meet Mr. Bob Savage. Both he and Steve are super nice guys and I was glad to put some faces to the names.

Glad you dug the new amp, man! Looking forward to hearing what you can get from it recording-wise. I'm working on something cool with it right now...

I'm glad your so willing to put it in my hands to experiment with. I am actually mapping out getting good "in room AND proper mic'd" clips and vids together.

Reza, nothing personal mate! This was organized by a leader of another forum for us that have a decade plus history. More of an excuse to meet whil happening to bring some gear down.

I'd totally love to set one up here sometime.

Yeah, I dig all the stuff you've posted so I thought it would be cool to have you mess with the amp and see what you come up with. You could always profile it to make it easier to record as well...

Exactly.

And I'd definitely come with my amps again for sure!

Lol! I did not want to be so presumptuous to assume it was ok to profile it and would not unless you ok'd it.

I have no problem with that at all!

Was there a "secret handshake"? :D

Medallions always nail down the circle of trust. That, and make a great coaster for your beer.
 
Just to be clear guys, I did NOT set this thing up as a chance for people to demo my amp. This was a general amp fest - a get together of the folks in SoCal of this other forum to check out each other's personal amps. Since I participate at that forum, I said I'd come by and bring my amps. This was not my thing setup specifically for people to demo my amps. There were dozens of other amps there... If I ever set up my own event to come demo my amps, I'd, of course, invite folks from here as well...

Steve
 
Sorry if I started a shit storm Steve!

Y'all, the amp fest was started by the guys in another forum that Steve and I are both members of. Hopefully no one is giving Steve guff about it. He just happened to be cool enough to bring a few amps down. Hell, I drove from Las Vegas so folks could hear the Splawn and Kemper.

I'm in! Let's have it in Nashville!
 
I haven't logged on here for a few months but I wanted to check the status of this amp particularly.

I'm glad to see Jer says that it slays because Jer knows what's up. I had a feeling this amp was going to be killer so I wanted to see if I could find some clips.

I will be browsing more but post them up if you have them.

Nothing that was recorded at the amp fest sounded good - we had the amp cranked up and it was too much for the phone pics...

I'm working on another clip as we speak that I think people will like...
