While guitars have and will continue to come in and out of Cory’s life, his search of tube tone is over thanks to Dylana Nova at 3rd Power. Based on her Clean Sink platform, Cory’s souped-up requests included more power (original Clean Sink maxes out at 28 watts whereas this one hits 40 watts) and he wanted a switch that toggled between blackface and brownface voicings on top of the blendable American and AC (with optional boost) voicings. The single speaker of the mean machine is an American-made 12" Warehouse Guitar Speaker Green Beret.

Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
