These seem to be pretty rare. I can't find a single decent clip or demo.

There's one for sale quite local to me. $900 CDN ($655 USD)

If I remember right these were made by ex-Digitech dudes and I think they had SS preamps.....or at least some of the models did

Here's Johnny Hiland playing thru one (says it's the best amp he's ever had in this vid lol)

The title instantly gave me 100 Watt flashbacks.

The 100 Watt signature gear of the century, the Butthole 100! Get yours today!

LOL, not exactly the kind of stuff I'd be playing with it.

yeah Johnny Hiland is the only guy I've seen with one. He did some high gain demos too:





Phone clipping aside, it sounds great but he's one of those guys whose playing is so good, it transcends the gear. It's crazy how he plays rock/metal like it could be his main style.

Just saw one on the Pacific NW buy and sell FB group. Is it that one?

is this the same bolt that makes car audio? i swear the logo is just about the same

Sorry I got flashbacks of Billy Blades amps and thought dumpster fire, run. Not the same amps at all but it struck a chord.

It is on Facebook Marketplace. Seller is located in Burlington.

I've actually ran into 2 Blades amps "in the wild", one at Sam Ash Las Vegas and one here at Atomic Music. I played both of them and despite the stories about build quality, which may or may not be true, both amps sounded awesome. I couldn't get past the ridiculous looks with the beer holder and crazy color scheme and the builder's reputation kept me from buying them but I have to admit they sounded fantastic and nail the Jose modded Marshall tone.
