    Hi all! Is it the same Tristan Avakian that played on the We Will Rock You musical and the awesome Red Dawn (1993) album? I love that album - and this video is really well explained too

    Thanks for the demo. I am very excited about this device. I love my Flyrig 5 but that VOX sound is something special and a must have.

    That sounds ace, Tristan... in a tribute myself and love learning about the gear that other 'Brians' use for backup/fly rigs... always a pain in the ass having to compress your normal rig into essentially hand luggage! You made this sing - brilliant demo!!!

    As a complete dolt about making music on the guitar, this is an interesting tutorial about the new gadget you're trying out here. It gave me a little insight into what makes your musicianship work with bands as a whole and how you're creating different sounds according to the music needs. I like finding those sounds when I listen to music. Learning how it can be used (packing lite - just in case) is fun to know, too. Thanks for the free insight!

      Well, it’s been an interesting journey for me, too. I came up in the 80s when everything started getting programmable. You could suddenly get a lot of different sounds with the push of a button. When I got the gig playing Queen music in We Will Rock You, they gave me an amp with just one knob - that’s always on 10, and you can probably guess which one it was! I had to rethink my approach completely. Really good experience to basically go back to the 70s and get all the sounds from the instrument itself instead of doing it with a lot of button pushing.
      For this music I need a device that is simple - that will do it all without ever having to touch it once it’s set up. This fills the bill.
      And I may not be using it as my A rig, but when you are the sole guitarist in a band playing for up to ten thousand people at each show, you need a backup. If you’re worried about your gear you have a horrible time. It’s good to know this thing is right there if needed, and that it’s basic but bulletproof.

    mine hasn't shipped yet, but i am expecting to get the shipment e-mail any day now. ( very torqued to plug in and fire it up )
    i have always liked Brian May's guitar sound, and Tom Petty's heart breakers era guitar sound also...i didn't make the GZ-34 rect AC30 connection there until recently.
    love that i can get that sound in analog...uses less power, and nothing drives me nuts more than latency.
    i have a dry solid state amp, and i think this is really going to warm it up and bring it alive.....and it's also nice i can swap into my interface, or go direct into a PA desk.

      Tech 21 is a great company - they make compact, reliable no BS devices for professionals. Slips into a pocket, does what it says on the tin, no bloody computer in it - will never let you down.
