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.

Yeah, I know it isn't new, but I saw it in Ola Englund's NAMM video for this year and thought it would be good to express how I wish I had the coin for it.  I agree, Fortin pretty experienced.

aaah. I think I might have seen an older video of his with the Natas. I've seen the Hulk Mod videos which I think were the starting point of the Natas and they sound pretty heavy. I think the video if a JCM800 with a hulk mod, which is meant to be a comprehensive rebuild rather than a mod to the existing circuit. Sounds huge. As does the Natas. I really like the concept of the Bones personally.

That Engl is pretty interesing. I'd also like a go on a Diezel Hagen.

Lovely stuff Elliot. Lovely.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Hoho, you've got the Ultimate attenuator to tame that Supersonic. Cool. So are the strats!

 :o  I didn't know you had two matching headstock Strats (or if I did, I'd forgotten...  :oops: )

Magnificent!  :D

Are they both recent models?  I see they have the two-point trem with bent steel saddles.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

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

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

That Engl sounds nice. I wonder what it's based on. The first channels sounds alot like a Vox, second channel has alot of Marshall Super Lead going on.

Nice to see Engl doing more vintage sounding stuff. I love my Classic Tube.

I think they should also make a 50 Watt combo version of that Retro Tube.

sounds really nice on the clean channel, though the OD channel sounds anything but retro to me, ha ha.

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?
