New Stuff for 2010
We have some new offerings this year.
-
The Artemus is an 4x EL-84-driven combo. The details are on our Home page.

We have two new coverings: Alligator and Ostrich. Our Home page has photos.
-
There are three–count ‘em three–new variations on the Slant 6V:
- Slant 6V Lt – Clean channel only version. Same as the classic, just no OD channel.
- Slant 6V HP – High power version. With 4 6L6s making 100/55/35 watts.
- Slant 6V HP Lt – High power, clean channel only version.
More info will be added to the Slant 6V page soon.

And lastly, sadly, we are discontinuing the Hammerhead. It was a great but misunderstood amp, and orders have been few and far between. So long lil’ buddy. *sniff*.

Jazz guitarist and composer Bill Frisell stopped by the shop last week. He played through all the models and settled on a Mercury. It was a pleasure to meet him and listen to him play.
