Late nights, unending guitar riffs and enough gear shown in one space to make your head spin is over. The Nashville Amp Expo ended Sunday at midnight. We had a great time, met a lot of great people, saw amazing gear and watched some of the best players on earth preform live!
Sunday was a busy day and we did a ton of demonstrations!
Burriss Amps were our workhorse amps for this weekend and they really shined! We can't count the amount of compliments we received on how great these little 12lb-14lb heads sounded! True amazement followed when we told expo goers that you can power up to 10 9V pedals off the amps! We could even pack up two Burriss heads into our Rock Cr8 for easy and safe transport!
Owner and creator of Spaceman Effects, Zak, was with us all weekend giving Spaceman Fans the ins and outs of his hand built masterpiece effects! Spaceman left players in awe, feeling like they were really playing the pedal. Fans had the rare opportunity to demo a Spaceman pre-release, and the only one of its kind at the moment, The Aphelion Harmonic Overdrive. The Aphelion is now available for pre-order through Elevation Boutiques and was a show stopper at The Amp Expo, with some users even claiming it was the best overdrive in the building!
We gained fans for each product we represent! Players raved about Flatline Guitar's smooth necks and lightweight bodies that still sound so versatile and are very fairly priced! And when Phil Keaggy dropped by our room, falling for Flatline's Delta 90, he decided to do an even trade for his Flatline Vistaglide Custom on the spot! Now we have Phil's Vistaglide for sale which was his go to guitar for the las 6 months or more!
Mario Martin's sparkle blue metal flake, with checkerboard binding, pulled people into our room like a magnet. When they played through it's noiseless Lindy Fralins they were in heaven. Mario Martin Guitars were also featured in this months Premier Guitar Magazine!
We had goers asking to demo Maxon, Guyatone and Providence pedals, all blown away by the 25 piece pedal board we had on the floor for them to play through.
And of course, Armor Gold Cables were leaving people in disbelief that there truly is an indestructible cable out there! And one that sounds amazing!!
Porter Pickups gained lots of attention from players. Porter's all hand wound pickups made quite an impression. People raved at how clean and tight they were wound and could hardly believe it was all done by hand! We had Porter's classic Humbuckers installed in our Flatline Biscayne which makes a monster of a guitar!
Carrying some weight all weekend was our ever handy Rock Cr8! We had the Burriss Dirty Read & cab on top of it. Inside we stored some Armor Gold Cables. We had a number of pedals on our fold down & detachable pedal board! The casters on the bottom helped us load in and out like champs!
We even had visits from Phil Keaggy & Web Wilder! Both were highly impressed with Spaceman Effects, Flatline Guitars and Burriss Amps!
Today is the first day of The Nashville Amp Expo! We got loaded in this afternoon, had a few pedal glitches, fixed them and now we are rolling strong! Not much time to write so check out some pics! Come on out! We are in room 108!
Come by our room sign up for our newsletter and you'll automatically be entered to win a Guyatone Tube Echo!! We will randomly draw a name on Sunday at midnight!
Pre-Orders stormed in with Spaceman Effect's latest release, The Aphelion Harmonic Overdrive. We featured it for the first time ever at The Nashville Amp Expo. It may have been the most well received pedal in the building!
The Aphelion Overdrive is a tone machine and built to inspire. The Aphelion is a harmonically rich overdrive pedal with an emphasis on even-order harmonics. It has a wide gain range from light sparkle, to overdriven tube-amp bliss. This pedal is wonderfully transparent and extremely responsive to playing dynamics. To our ears, it’s one of the most realistic tube-amp overdrive tone we’ve ever heard in a pedal. In standard Spaceman fashion, they've come up with an exciting, unique design that makes it truly one of the most organic and dynamically responsive overdrive pedals on the planet. The Aphelion creates unique drive tones and with a sea of cloned overdrive circuits out there today, this means so very much. The drive possibilities of The Aphelion range from a sparkly, shimmering boost to high-gain overdrive, with plenty of boosting power on tap. The tone control lets you balance highs and lows, with full range at 12:00. Use your neck pickup with high gain settings for singing, octave-laden lead tones. Completely hand-soldered and handmade in Portland Oregon, The Aphelion utilizes true-bypass switching via the heaviest duty mechanical foot switch available. Open one up and you’ll see an unparalleled display of craftsmanship. Thick, high quality PCB along with detailed military-spec wiring, using vintage US made heavy-gauge stranded wire. On top of the USA-cast aluminum enclosure sits a durable, engraved vinyl faceplate and clear jewel indicator with turquoise LED. This overdrive is built to last a lifetime. Each pedal is numbered on the nameplate, boasting it's limited availability and in addition each is signed and numbered on the inside. The Aphelion also comes with a transferable three year warranty, plus a lifetime discount repair plan. Spaceman will be releasing info on two standard versions of The Aphelion next week! There will be a silver version and as of now, an unknown special color.
Make sure you also get your hands on Spaceman's Gemini lll Dual Fuzz Generator before they are sold out for good! Quantities are getting low and you don't want to miss your chance to own one of the best and most versatile fuzz pedals on planet earth!
We are more than excited to announce that we are now an official rep for Mario Martin Guitars! Mario Martin Guitars are high end handmade boutique guitars.

Offering an array of custom paint jobs from metal flake, light, medium or heavy relic work and beautiful classic looks, Mario Martin Guitars has something unique for every player. As far as tone is concerned you are covered with your choice of TV Jones or Lindy Fralin pickups. If you prefer a certain wood type for the body you can get everything from Alder & Pine to Mahogany, Swamp Ash, Hard Ash & Paulownia. This is a builder that knows his stuff. Working for both Gibson and Fender at different points of his career, Mario received the bulk of his education from master luthier Evan Ellis at Fender and it shows.
