Otto Audio Releases the II II II II

A true wall-of-sound experience.


II II II II doesn't occupy the same space, primary function or sound as what the amp sim market is used to. The II II II II ("the Eleven Eleven") brings you closer than ever to a full amp experience by placing you perceptually right in front of a cranked stereo wall of sound! No longer are you listening to a mic'd cab in the other room played back through your control room speakers.

Three decades after the final Grateful Dead performance, Jerry Garcia’s sound continues to cast a long shadow. Guitarists Jeff Mattson of Dark Star Orchestra, Tom Hamilton of JRAD, and Bella Rayne explain how they interpret Garcia’s legacy musically and with their gear.

ā€œI met Jerry Garcia once, in 1992, at the bar at the Ritz Carlton in New York,ā€ Dark Star Orchestra guitarist Jeff Mattson tells me over the phone. Nearly sixty-seven years old, Mattson is one of the longest-running members of the Grateful Dead tribute band scene, which encompasses hundreds of groups worldwide. The guitarist is old enough to have lived through most of the arc ofthe actual Grateful Dead’s career. As a young teen, he first absorbed their music by borrowing their seminal records, American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead, brand new then, from his local library to spin on his turntable. Around that same moment, he started studying jazz guitar. Between 1973 and 1995, Mattson saw the Dead play live hundreds of times, formed the landmark jam bandZen Tricksters, and later stepped into theJerry Garcia lead guitarist role with the Dark Star Orchestra (DSO), one of the leading Dead tribute acts.
