For something a little warmer, Tedeschi plugs in her 2001 D’Angelico New Yorker. According to Tedeschi, the pickups are a bit hotter than normal humbuckers. There’s a long scrape on the back of the neck thanks to a careless Delta employee in London.

Thanks to Ryan “Murph” Murphy and Bobby Tis for their help.

Fortin Kali Review

Fortin Kali Review

The aptly named Kali distills elements of the Fortin Cali—a Plexi-inspired amp—into a 2-channel pre-amp and distortion pedal.
