Friend got endorsed by this new amp company

[lolzgreg]

That Forza does look insane. I wonder how they sound. I'm sure they'll have high quality up clips sooner than later.

The noise floor on these things is supposed to be incredibly low; I wonder... The lowest noise floor of any amp I own is my Baron Custom Amps K2; that thing is almost silent on the high gain channel, even boosted with a TS with the internal boost on.

 

[AllanD]

Anyone have any idea on the price?

 

[kaomao]

looks like a space ship lol

 

[SocialNumb]

Crazy looking amp. Hey it's Dave in the vid. I watch his "riff of the week" vids on youtube. He plays with Vai.

 

[Tokyurot]

Pure awesomeness! Just wondering how they'd come through the customs though,
because it looks like there's a couple of liquid plutonium tubes inside heh!

I'm sure it's shipped via NASA rockets. Ex-NASA employers rule. First we get xkcd and now this, what's next to come?

What's the racist connotations of what he said exactly?

Looked to me like he was just highlighting a humorous contrast.

It's an 8-string Ibanez, but check the settings, everything is at 12 o'clock. That might be the cause of the sucky tone:

(it's later in the video)

your totally right, didnt even see that 8th tuning nob on the bottem

 

[El_Gato]

Sure they sell more amps because of the neons or the typical NASA propaghanda than the tone itself. Waiting for the clips from your folk so I eat my words.

sounded like he was implying that black men arent metal material.

 

[lolzgreg]

/black(isnotequalto)metal argument

 

[Everybody]

sorry to sound racist, i just was expecting that white guy to be playing on the whole vid, so when a black guy popped up with an 8 string i was like haha whoa that was random.

anyways, i think the amp sounds pretty good (and looks sick nasty). would be curious to hear what some of you guys here could do with it though!

 

[Wisheraser]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that either. It's a good idea though, getting somebody who actually knows how to play metal to demonstrate that side of the amp. That's way better than some other amp vids I've seen where they have a jazz/meedly meedly shredder type of guy going "Yeah, this thing can play heavy stuff too. Check it out!" *sloppily plays riffs that sound like he hasn't listened to metal since Ride the Lightning*

AKA every single person demo'ing at NAMM

 

[TheDude]

It's actually one of the amps that I'd like to have just by looking at it. If I'm lucky, i get to borrow a Forza head to test in FAL with Fredrik. I'll make sure I'll do some demos.

According to DAR amps, they're designed for metal, from the ground up.
