Last week I wrote about a 15 watt amplifier head. I can’t just come straight back down from those lofty heights. I am now used to the power. I’m power mad! In my search for an amp head that spoke to my metal urges, I discovered the Two-Rock Exo-15. Two-Rock is a cool name. The Exo-15 is an awesome looking head (it appears to be an all metal construction) and the videos I’ve seen make me think the amp could deliver (distorted or not). … 52 Amplifier Heads, week 4—Two-Rock Exo-15

52 Amplifier Heads, week 3—Egnater Tweaker

This is a bigger amp head, but from the research I’ve done this still a reasonably priced amp head. Awesome. What also impressed me while researching this amplifier, was the quality of video on the amplifier itself. Egnater has a great little introductory video that explains the amplifier’s features while this YouTube video provides some very good sound bites of the amplifier’s natural tones. And it sounds great! … 52 Amplifier Heads, week 3—Egnater Tweaker

This year I hope to find out a lot more about valve amp heads. I am doing this so I can hopefully get one for myself. I’m currently a solid state amplifier man. What better way to research the options than to write about 52 different amplifier manufacturers. I know they’re out there and the one that jumped at me to kickstart this new weekly series is the Blackstar HT Metal H1. Yeah, it’s \m/ and I want one. … 52 Amplifier Heads, week 1—Blackstar HT Metal 1H

Schecter amplification coming in 2013
Twice now I’ve received a little sneak peak in my email that has implied something awesome is coming from the people at Schecter. I have to say the imagery that comes with each email has made me say “Dear God! That looks to be awesome!” The imagery looks like this the picture you can see below.
Looks like … The original version has more colour. But that’s not allowed here. … Schecter amplification coming in 2013
