Palmer Amplification
"Palmer Amplification brought a few new toys to Musikmesse 2013. The Cab Merger (top left) lets you double your amp's speaker outputs, the Eins 1-watt head (bottom left) has one 12AX7 and one 12AT7 powering tone and volume knobs (there's also a speaker-emulated out), and the Fab 5 head uses a 6V6 and a 12AX7 and has volume, tone, and boost knobs, as well as a 3-position power attenuator."

Fender Mark Speer Stratocaster Review

Fender Mark Speer Stratocaster Review

Khruangbin is a band that moves freely in negative space. They don’t deal in negative vibes, mind you, but the spaces in between objects—or in music, between notes and tones. In Khruangbin’s case, negative space isn’t quite as empty as it seems.

And like many bass-centric brands, they sometimes seem determined to ensure that guitar players aren’t the only ones having fun when it comes to amps and effects. If that’s true, the DSP-driven Anagram may be their most impressive form of revenge yet.
