Hot HAVOC

Description

Now we’re getting somewhere. Mild mannered has been left behind, 80’s metal has entered. Plug this tone beast into a 100 watt power amplifier and you’ll be ready to rock a stadium. Of course you can plug it into a Studio sized power amp and put that concert on in your living room with all the tone and manageable volume.  Judicious use of the GAIN control results in unrivaled touch sensitivity…gingerly pick a delicate clean passage, and then dig in for distortion on demand.

Samples

Below are some samples of what you get with the Hot HAVOC preamplifier.  Fortunately I’m a better engineer than guitarist, but you get the idea.  The samples provided are the raw recordings with no processing, guitar playing blunders and all.

Sample 1: Les Paul -> Hot HAVOC -> PC Audio Interface

 

Sample 2: Les Paul -> Hot HAVOC -> Studio HAVOC -> custom open back cab w/ 1X Jensen C12Q -> SM57 -> PC Audio Interface

 

Sample 3: Strat -> Hot HAVOC -> Studio HAVOC -> custom open back cab w/ 1X Jensen C12Q -> SM57 -> PC Audio Interface
