Strega Guitars Demo | NAMM 2025

Strega Guitars Demo | NAMM 2025
- YouTube

Dunable Guitars luthier Tony Tirado introduced his own line of handbuilt Strega 7-string guitars–a perfect cut for metal in style and sound, with pickups with extended low-range clarity, custom-wound in the Dunable shop. The guitar line, whose entries are tagged at about $3,850, is entirely the brainchild of Tirado, who explained that they are an outgrowth of his passion for metal as well as his design aesthetic, which tends toward angles, edges, and fins‑–classic flourishes with a fresh spin. They clock in at very well-balanced 7–8 pounds, but sound heavy as hell.

Magnatone 1x8 Starlite Reverb, Billy Gibbons & Slash Amps Demo | NAMM 2025
- YouTube

Magnatone showed us three killer amps that have their own flair. The 1x8 Starlite Reverb is still the single-ended 5W combo with a single 6V6 & 12AX7 that can bark between a black-panel and tweed, but now it includes Accutronics Digi-Log reverb that has optimized gain stages ensure the reverb seamlessly integrates with the amp’s natural sound, preserving the true classic tone of Magnatone amps.

Next we saw Billy Gibbons Magnatone Super Fifteen amplifier that is dressed to kill in its new chrome grape wrap that is uses a multi-step finishing process starting with 100% cotton fabric, a silver crocodile texture is embossed as an undercoat and then hand-tinted to Billy’s “Chrome Grape” taste using a nitro celluloid finish.

NUX Core lineup saw a pair of additions including the Amp Core Studio & Drive Core Deluxe MKII. The Amp Core Studio boasts 26 amp models and you can store up to 20 amp presets with built-in NUX IR cabinets or 3rd party IRs. Their three scene modes switching between different amp tones in real-time.

The Drive Core Deluxe MKII still has a 100-percent pure analog circuit, but now it's stocked with eight distinct TS-style sounds. Another new (and impressive) tone tweak is the post-boost function (engaged by holding down the footswitch) that gives your signal a 7dB kick in the pants!
