GALLERY: NAMM 2013 - Day 4

What our editors saw on the final day of Winter NAMM 2013.

"Bruce Egnater Amplification showed off his new Detroit 18 tube amp at NAMM 2013. This 18-watt head features both clean and overdrive channels, a 3-position wattage-select switch (for 18, 6, or 1 watts), and Egnaterуs new рtorqueс knob. Also an Egnater first is the рhome/stageс switch that allows for actual bedroom level volume without sacrificing tone."
