Cool fest, thanks for putting it on BG.

Public speaking or amp demos, not really my forte but great to hear the break down of other people's gear.

Particular items of interest for me, godgrinder's Peters preamp & Ed's Mark V.
Both sounded cool but it was quite tricky to get an idea of their tone over the other gear in the room blasting away :lol:
I must say Ed, the Mark V even on the extreme mode sounded nice & open.

Oh yes, glad I brought earplugs :crazy:

Totally felt that as I had to say "I'm godgrinder" for about 10 times today hahaha.

First timer here and felt rather nervous as I can hardly play anything musical (I mostly just make horrible droney noises in my bands).

Was awesome to check out some cool amps. Really digged Unique's D13, and Bg's 5e3 got me GASing for a tweed type pedal now. Willow's 5153 was lovely, especially the blue channel.

Thanks a lot to higainer for bringing the Ultra Lead for me to check out, been wanting to do a Ultra Lead VS GP3 shootout for a while.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio
