Dynamo releases its first of a new line of bass amplifiers, The GT BASS.
This is a 300w all tube Bass Guitar head powered by 4 KT-150Power tubes and 3 12AX7 Pre-Amp tubes and is HandBuilt in TEXAS. It features a simplistic classic design with massive power that will push an 810 cabinet to pure thunder. This amp provides a warm, precise, and transparent tone with unmatched clarity thanks to being built around premium Mundorf and TakmanAudiophile grade components, Toroidal transformers, and Mil-Spec control pots.
Like the 200w Dynamo GTSGuitar amplifiers that first debuted in the 2011 NAMM show, the GT BASS carries over DNA in its design for power and clarity but is driven by an F-2b/1x style tube pre-amp with a classic TMB circuit after listening to input from a variety of Bass Players to build the ultimate Bass rig. This amp is only the Ice breaker into Building BassGuitar amplifiers as Dynamo is currently working on a medium-sized Hybrid Tube/SST and a Class D micro amplifier to come later this year.
The GT BASS is being premiered with a High powered2x12 speaker cab built around a dual internal passive12” Bass radiator that increases the output by 6dB and utilizes a pair of 600w FaitalPro 12” Neodymium drivers and tweeter for a rating of 1200w. This 2x12cab has amazing studio-like detail and you can feel the air move. Other Speaker configurations are soon going to be available in 810, 610, 210, and 115 cabinets.

Slayer guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman formed the original searing 6-string front line of the most brutal band in the land. Together, they created an aggressive mood of malcontent with high-velocity thrash riffs and screeching solos that’ll slice your speaker cones. The only way to create a band more brutal than Slayer would be to animate them, and that’s exactly what Metalocalypse (and Home Movies) creator Brendon Small did.
From his first listen, Small has been a lifetime devotee and thrash-metal expert, so we invited him to help us break down what makes Slayer so great. Together, we dissect King and Hanneman’s guitar styles and list their angriest, most brutal songs, as well as those that create a mood of general horribleness.
