• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

I just wanted to give everyone the heads up about Bob's new amp, the 10n (Powers of Ten) that is a mono single channel update of the legendary Stereo Single-Ended amp that Shawn Lane used to record his seminal debut album, "Powers of Ten." Here are a couple of videos that demonstrate the use of the Gainmaster, a floating front end that can be used with any of his amps and allows the player to achieve cranked amp tone at bedroom levels.

Here's another couple of videos featuring Micha Schellhass ripping it up on the Gjika 10n. The first is with fuzz, the second without.

I don't yet own a 10n, but I have three of his other amps. Once you play through his stuff you'll never be satisfied with the status quo ever again.

Playing ULTRA-LOW volume on the 10n. You can even hear Bob talking over it.

That sounds great.

I think I missed it, but is he going into a 4x12?

He was playing through two Bluesbreaker- style 2 x 12s with Celestion C90s (Mesa Black Shadow) speakers. These are the only modern speakers Bob endorses. These are the cabs on which he's sitting.

Here is Bob demonstrating how other manufacturer's fuzzes work with the Gainmaster and the 10n. The pedal is the Mark IV Fuzz by ProAnalog Devices.
