MAY 11, 2009 – NY AMP SHOW COMMENT
I met bill at the ny amp show, super nice guy.the show started at 10 am at 10:05 I walked into bills room pluged in to his 50 watt head, and for me the show was over right then.I have spent over a grand alone on a decent pedal board and effects trying to get the sounds that my ears seem to like, this amp just floored me,it would be a disservice to this amp to put any pedals in front of it.no need. at the flip of a switch this thing just delivers all the tone and mojo you could ask for out of amp.I will be ordering one soon. thank you bill-jimmy gondoli

I’ll have to echo all of the Sarge’s comments.
To put it simply, a great amp made by a PLAYER and a gentleman. The luck of geography played a role in being able to try one of these out …. a more glorious 100 watt head/ 4×12 cab tone I have not heard. This thing is a punchy bastard as well on the clean tones, and does Phenomenally well on the in-between tones also. Where it shines is in that cranked Marshall/EVH realm…. dial back your guitar’s volume to tame it or step on the pedal to switch channels. Full, articulate, ballsy, versatile. What more could anyone want?

Man, Bill… I’ve been playing this darn amp and I think you totally have a winner on your hands. This is a crappy economy and even moving used gear is hard right now. So this probably isn’t the best time to start selling high dollar amps, but wow. I’m totally digging it and I think you’ll experience some great success if you can keep going until people start spending money again.
You probably saw where I mentioned an amp I owned in the past that sounded like the “perfect plexi.” I don’t know if you know much about that particular make/model, but the amp is basically a PTP design that was meant to capture the old “brown sound.” It was one of the best rock tones I ever had, but it was a little impractical with the lack of a master volume, effects loop, reverb, EQ controls that didn’t do much, etc… It also didn’t have enough low end for me (although it was enough for the brown sound.) It was all PTP and just killer…
I mention that because your amp reminds me of it, but at a higher level. I am nailing the brown sound in the same way that amp did, but now I have ALOT more versatility. I’m getting these tones at bedroom volumes without an attenuator!!! It’s crazy!
So when people ask me to describe your amp, I say it’s a super versatile plexi-style machine. It goes from warm organic clean tones, to sweet blues crunch, to a “perfect plexi”, to modded high gain british crunch at the stomp of a switch. All of that with killer sounding reverb and at low volumes! I’m going crazy with this tone. Thank you!
