My goodness this guitar sounds fabulous plugged in.I'm running it through a Peavey PA amp with just a touch of reverb. It really made the entire band sit up and take notice; they all commented how good it sounded. Is there something special about this particular preamp?

Regards,

Tom

It's the guitar that's special.

Are you sure? I thought it was the strap. Well the strap is blue too, so it's probably an additive effect.

lanaki,

I'm not sure what preamp this is. Maybe some one can help identify?(Sorry about the picture quality)



As far as the signature line goes, it has been updated as demanded :D

That there is an Optima, Tom. Possibly the best in the OP preamp series (VIP doesn't count).

Waskel,

Thanks for the identification. I don't know how much is the preamp and how much is the guitar but the sound is spectacular.

Unfortunately my other 12 Strings are feeling a little bit of an inferiority complex in its presence.

Tom
