Awesome young guitarist plug/ My amp grew up...

Post by matt h »

Firstly, a link! https://soundcloud.com/samuraiguit/good ... ey-ft-adam (now you can listen while you read!)

Backstory-- 11 years ago, I designed an amp (actually two) for a father in Canada who wanted to build something for his teenage son, who was taking guitar lessons and showing promise. I took about a seven year hiatus from all things amp related and we lost touch.

The link above is to a specific song he recorded with one of the two amps I designed for him back then.

Earlier this year, I got back in touch with his father (and made first contact with the guitarist), who told me the other amp had crapped out at some point and wasn't getting used. After some discussions, it got re-built as something else, a new design of mine, and I hope a clip or two of that surfaces in the near future. It's a very special (to me) project.

The guitarist, Steve, is extremely, extremely talented, and a multi-instrumentalist.

Here's a link to something he's done on Youtube that just blows me away:

He's got a bunch of stuff on instagram, if any here follows that-- great chops, good sense of humor. http://instagram.com/samuraiguitarist

Love that cab! Has anyone else been lusting after the tube radio that Chris Titus uses as a podium on the show Pawnography? It would make a great Bassman.
