What happens in our hotel after NAMM (Rhodes Gemini/Artemis)

[protoplasma]

We've got lots of video, some of which is starting to see the light of day. We had so many crazy players by -- Andy Wood, Tom Quayle, Jack Gardiner, Levi Clay, Fred Brum, etc, etc, etc. We had a fantastic time, and it's quite awesome to see these guys in action. They are all the epitome of true talent.

Here's Tom Quayle stepping in / out of his comfort zone. I was having fun giving him way more gain than he ever plays with, evoking the response "That's way more gain than I'm comfortable with", ha! Ignore Fred Brum's ramblings, he's loud.

Some Clean channel (with a tad bit of gain) playing, and talking about Fred Brum's huge.....pick.

Martin Miller is ridiculous. His chord and lead playing blew me away. I captured him spending some time with the Artemis on video. This particular "Model III" amp has no Clean channel, just Crunch/Lead/Lead.

Levi Clay is another fantastic player. Very diverse and all around nice guy as well!

This video includes a bit of run-through on the Gemini's features too.

Lots more videos coming, including some mic'd cab clips!

Badass amps...even better players. Damn you Andy for your insane mix of metal and chickn' pickin'....many any hour have been spent trying to steal your licks...I feel like I need to send you a check if for nothing else the lessons in humility.

Sorry, I do not see it in my inbox... I think I read somewhere there were some random post/pm issues, maybe it didn't go through?

Best thing is to send me a direct email -- kyle (at) rhodesamplification.com

Everyone asked where the killer micro brew was when I handed them a cup of Heineken.

You too Ivan! Thanks for stopping out and grabbing a beer.

Gemini is loaded with JJ 6L6GCs, the Artemis actually has JJ EL34s.

I'll be with you next Namm and I'll make some more 90 min triple/imperial Belgian IPA. Next time I make twice as much!
