Blackheart: May 2008 Archives
Well, actually that's a Blur song. But MusicRadar.com, a site based in the UK, has done guitarists a great service with their audio samples of our BH5H Little Giant 5-watt head. Click here and you'll get to their review, which includes 5 separate audio files with their test guitar in different settings (bridge pickup, neck pickup, etc.). The test guitar is a Japanese Strat with EMG single coil pickups--not the most universal test guitar, but you'll still be able to tell how great this little guy sounds.
We're getting a ton of email from the potential masses of the BHE
faithful regarding the new Handsome Devil, Killer Ant and Hothead and
where in the blazes you can find one. Most of ya'll have been kind
enough to blame your local or e comm dealer but the truth is, it's all
on me and the Belov. We've fallen a little behind our original
expectation dates.
That said, we thought we'd be as informative and upfront as possible so you know what to expect....
The Killer Ant and Killer Cab will be in stores in late July. They're on the water now and we'll receive them in late June. We need to go through and make sure everything's perfect, then we'll spank their little behinds, take a few pictures and send them out ASAP.
The Handsome Devil (head and combo) is due to be in stores by late August. They haven't gotten on the boat but Belov is over there checking them out to make sure all's good, we'll look at them again before they leave our place and hopefully have enough. This one's really back ordered though. Once we realized how many the good folks of planet earth wanted, we ordered more but it takes about 60 days for that to bear fruit and become an amp.
The Hothead is looking more like September at this point. We just approved the pilot (first few pieces from a production run) after having to tweak the prototypes.
The good news is that we're completely satisfied with what we're building and what you'll be playing. Thanks to everyone for their patience. We swear you'll be rocked by these amps and years from now, look over a crowd of adoring fans screaming for more and forget all about how long it took to get one.
If you want to say "hi", send us encouragement or even a flaming, angry email (we're not sensitive, we're amp guys), bring it on: productknowledge@loudtechinc.com
Until then, Rock On,
