Finally, Fred has a signature line of amps and pedals!

Here's what it sounds like:

I'm really excited about this (not that I'll ever get one). The tone is godly.

Here are the specs:

Whoa! When that riff kicked in, I got a little boner :)

I'm glad to see him playing through an amp. I've read that live he plays through a Line 6 Pod Pro, then into the PA. I couldn't quite believe he could squeeze that massive sound out without a big old tube amp in the line somewhere!

Considering the amount of energy and money that's been spent by people trying to recreate Meshuggah's sound over the years, this surely has to be a gold mine!

The guy playing is Ola Englund, a sound engineer who is working with DAR :D The song he played is from his band, Feared. Worth checking out!

And yeah, I'm surprised that Fred can get such a meaty sound from a POD. He used Vetta heads for Catch 33 I think, along with a POD. it's cool how the new amp can get such a versatile tone.

Oh really? I couldn't see his face under the hair, so just assumed it was Fred. I'll have to check that band out. I'm always looking for new music.

Yeah, every time I have tried a POD, I have hated the sound that comes out of it, Maybe I just need to spend some time playing with settings etc. Oh well, I am stuck playing at bedroom levels for the next while, so it's just me and my Vypyr 30 *grumble*.
