Please read this while the video loads:


We spent a great deal of thought and time creating this video. So for you to fully enjoy all the A-22 has to offer we kept the video compression fairly large and the sound totally uncompressed. This makes for large video, if you have a slower connection please be patient, with our thanks. We think it will be worth the wait. Also remember if you are using cheap computer speakers, they will effect what you hear. We suggest putting on a pair of headphones before cranking this up.


The idea began with the question: How do we showcase all the amp can do, but keep it entertaining?

The answer is to write some cool tunes of different styles and mix them into a short sampler then shoot video of the amp in both configurations - Combo and Head/Cabinet.


Ty Roberts wrote the tunes and produced the sessions with Spencer Kirkpatrick and Wendell Walker playing lead. The guitars were recorded totally flat using Sure SM57 and a Audio-Technica AT3035 mics. Ty added just a little reverb and echo to give the tracks some depth. Nothing else was added or used, the guitars were plugged into the amps and cranked - that’s it. Please scroll down for a full list of guitars, pickups and credits.
