Demo: New Nuno Bettencourt Randall Amp Demo

Todd — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:35:41 +0000

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.

“I’ve worked on this amp for over three years. We’ve delayed release of the amp until it was perfect.”

“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”

Demo: New Bogner Uberschall Twin Jet

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.

Landry Amps

Todd — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:39:47 +0000

From the parts surrounding St. Louis Missouri comes Bill Landry and his new amp. There are two wattage flavors with the 100 watt LS100 and the 50 watt LS50. These two then also come in a couple of different flavors. One flavor is a little more classic and one a touch more modern with a bit more gain and little tighter bottom end. I’m heading to the Nashville Amp Show this weekend and can’t wait to hear Bill’s amps for myself. Check back here for updates from the Nashville Amp Show.

Faustine Phantom Attenuator Demo

Todd — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 13:05:36 +0000

The chase for getting good tone a decent levels is an on going thing. One company is making a huge splash in the world of attenuators. Faustine Amps has one of the most transparent attenuators on the market. The word has spread fast because the demand has created a rather large waiting list. See each attenuator is hand built right now by one guy who is fanatical about his quality, so evidently judging from the word on the street these are well worth the wait.
