These are interesting...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y6I3suK_Y4&feature=relmfu

Joe Bonamassa signature PAFs - I wonder what they're doing different to the other PAFs that Duncan have in their range.  Joe is tone hound, so these are likely a nice set of pickups.  Does anyone know if he's had BKPs to try out?

maybe they have anti-gurning technology built-in.

That looks pretty fancy. It is a Natas though, or am I wrong? Natas is Satan spelled backwards.

No, you are right.  It is NATAS.  I think this one is a special make and isn't available.  I would rather have the regular version in all black instead of the face plate being red. 

 I recently contacted Mark Fortin, and asked him about doing the Hulk mod to my 2203.  Sadly, he doesn't do this any more and the NATAS pretty much covers it.  So as it is, its save up the coin painstakingly slow, get a record label to help finance it. Either way  :cry:. One day, one day...  I really like the amp.

aah the Natas. Thats not new for Namm though. Still a cool head. Some of the controls were a source of debate, being that there was a accusation they were taken from the Larry amps (or one of the Larry amps). Namely the 'girth' and 'grind' controls, but they allegedly come from an old Garnet tone circuit.

Still, does mixed output valves and all kinds of crazy things. Mike Fortin knows his stuff.

This is the one I saw in Ola Englund's 2012 NAMM video, sorry about that earlier post.

Fortin Satan



That is actually Ola Englunds custom amp.

Ill try and find some pictures.

On the back it says made for Ola Englund

Yeah, it a very poor representation of that head.  If you go to youtube, and check out Ola Englunds videos (fearedse), you'll see some really good quality demos of all kinds of amps.  Although its metal.

Really, I posted to show the head.  My apologies to subjecting you to that.

There is a new Jim Root Signature amp coming out from Orange, which looks a lot like the Dark Terror, but is based on the Rockerverb (not the Thunder) and has a proper EQ!

Looks very promising. I hope the price tag won't be too much higher than the Dark Terror.

I'm sure the recording isn't great. I'm not really into that style of playing either. I've heard the Natas and bunch of stuff leading up to the Natas. It's pretty impressive. So tricks in those amp's I'd like to try sometime.

Don't know which you like but that might be my perfect Tele! (I'd repaint it seafoam green)

It's nice, but I didn't think there was anything particularly radical about the features - a phase switch is easily done, and you can get the compound radius, chambered body and contoured heel from Warmoth!  :P
