I just updated the website with all the information about the MLC Amplifiers.
Mark and Paul from MarkL Custom have released their own line of amps and cabinets at the Frankfurt Musikmesse 2012 and we are proud to be able to offer them!
The range consists of 100watt and 60watt 3-channel heads as well as a 2-channel low wattage head. For cabinets they have 4x12s, 2×12 and 1×12. The cabinets can be had loaded with Scumback speakers or unloaded.
Check them out in the products-section!!
We received the 1st shipments of cable!!
Mogami 2524 and 2528 are now in stock. The 2524 is excellent instrument cable, the 2528 can be used to make power cables or to wire up stuff where there’s not a lot of space.
From Van Damme, we have their Pro Grade Classic instrument cable and the Pro Grade patch cable. Both have low capacitance and sound great. The patch cable is ideal to wire up pedalboards and racks!!
We had heard many great comments about the Fat Drive so were eager to test it. It proved to be a fantastic sounding pedal. Very dynamic and touch responsive, it works well as a booster in front of other pedals or as a standalone overdrive. Enough gain for rocking hard and with the gain control low, there´s plenty of output to kick your amp in the nuts!
LordRiffenstein is now a dealer for the RR Amps Fat Drive, we have a couple on the way!! Sales price is 199euro!
Today is a very sad day in the history of rock n roll. Jim Marshall, the man behind many fantastic sounds that have tickled our eardrums, has past away at the age of 88.
Thanks for everything and you will always be remembered when we get to krank those wonderfull amps you build.
If you were wondering why it took me so long to write about the interesting guitars I checked out at the Musikmesse, here’s your answer: I tried a good amount of guitars but not many that really tickled my fancy.
The absolute highlight (again) were the James Trussart guitars. Love ’em or hate them and I’m squarely in the 1st camp, but these are fantastic guitars. They ain’t cheap but they are also not your bog-standard plank.
Close second were some Ruokangas guitars. Their feel and tone was amazing, some are just a bit to blingbling for me but damn good stuff. And of course, the Huber Krautster II, I have been GASsing for one ever since trying one last year and I got to play 3 different one’s and they were amazing.
I played a couple of nice Carvin guitars. The folks from Loopersparadise had Gilmour guitars at their booth. No relationship with David Gilmour but these are some nice guitars.
Finally, the Egnater/Bogner-booth had some really nice Haar guitars to test out their amps and pedals. Erik Van De Haar has been building guitars for some years now and they keep getting better!
I´m currently testing these 2 Dutch pedals. They are having a fight to the death!! Reviews of both pedals will be coming up soon!!
Check out the brand new website for MarkL Custom guitar amplifiers!! There are 3 amp models and 3 different cabinets available. We will have a Subzero 60 amp and some cabinets available for testing in the near future!!!
