Pete Thorn makes some of the coolest gear demos on the web. Let alone he could play through a tin can make it sound good but he has his on signature model amp through Suhr Amplification and giving it a good run through in this demo.

The guys over at Funky Monkey have put up a cool demo video of the Nuno Bettencourt signature amp.

From Nuno: “There is a reason that I have never endorsed any amplifier company exclusively,” he writes. “Because I have always had to jump back and forth from amp to amp. One for rhythm… Another for solos. A different amp on every recording and tour… constantly searching… unsatisfied. Always good… but not great. Never finding that perfect tone. There was always something missing. Basically, I gave in and truly believed that Marshall would be the staple to fall back on… The Constant.

“Until now. The words… “I’ve got an amp that I will put my name on and have put it up against any other amplifier and blew them away”. I thought those words would not come out of my mouth. But they have. And it’s true”

Check it out.

The guys over at Tone Merchants have done a cool demo of the new Bogner Uberschall. JMR doing the demo is a great player and makes the amp sound good. Also Tone Merchants is a great place to deal with so I whole heartily recomend them for gear purchases.

If you are a Kings X fan like I am… I’m sure you know Ty Tabor is greatest guitar player on the planet. Ok that may be my opinion but I don’t know how anyone say that Ty isn’t one monster of a player with a huge tone to back up his unique style. Ty has teamed up with a new comer to the guitar maker scene Guilford Guitars. Ty’s model sports a South American mahogany body with a maple cap. There are also their trade marked ‘tone vents”.
