Brian Fallon, guitarist of the band “The Gaslight Anthem” picked up his custom ordered Pennalizer 3×10 amp over the weekend. Brian is a super nice guy and knows exactly what he wants to hear and feel from a guitar amp. The amp design was based on the old 5E7 tweed covered Fender Bandmaster. Some of his requirements were that the amp have a smooth top end treble and a clear bottom end that doesn’t turn to mush. Brian tunes his guitars (mostly Tele’s :D) down a whole step to D so the bottom end has to stay clear. I used a special output transformer to accommodate the bottom end from the lower tuning and deviated from the original circuit in a few spots. Some of the other parts of the tonal recipe I incorporated were based on my experience to deliver what he wanted. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with him and he is a great artist! Check his band’s page below. Thanks a lot Brian for getting Pennalized!!!

Testimonials:
David Nicholas - The 20watt amp is sounding fantastic! Delivered the goods at the gig and I'm finding cool tones all over the place with it. Love the cab w Emenince Tonkerlites too- perfect for my sounds! Makes the 12 string sound like a grand piano!
Peter Lacis - I had an audition for something recently that was all about Led Zeppelin I -- my custom Pennalizer BLEW THE MINDS of the guys I was playing with. They couldn't believe the sounds coming out of that amp. That album was never in my mind when I came up with the idea....so that's yet another testament to the amazing work that you do.
Scott Goldberg - I am very satisfied with the set-up, and the fast turn around. With the "lower" action it feels easier to play. I will definitely spread the word.
