BC Audio No. 10 MkII

Bruce Clement’s amplifiers have repeatedly won raves in these pages. That’s due in part to Clement’s creativity with established designs—in this case a very plexi-like 50-watt circuit with a 6SL7 preamp section that distorts sweetly at lower volumes.

In the years we’ve compiled our annual list of Premier Gear Award winners, we’ve probably never seen a list more eclectic than 2015’s. From high-gain monster amps and atmospheric reverbs to mini overdrives and wahs, 2015’s award winners covered all the bases.

As always, it was a joy to see how both big-time musical instrument industry players and little shops a step removed from the garage managed to haul in Premier Guitar’s prize for gear excellence. And if anyone’s counting, we’re pretty sure we also set a record for Premier Gear Award winners. So we hope you’re comfy—this list of primo gear may take some time to cover.
