LA Amp Show '10 - Tungsten Amps Buckwheat Demo

http://www.premierguitar.com PG's Joe Coffey is On Location at the 2010 LA Amp Show where he visits the Tungsten Amps room. In this segment, we get up close and personal with Tungsten's 30 watt combo, the Buckwheat.

Tungsten's approach to building amplifiers is to follow in the footsteps of the Fender tweed designs of the mid- to late-50s focusing on compression, sag, and a complimentary mid-range tonality with various dynamic levels.

The Buckwheat is a 30 watt combo driven by 6L6 power tubes and shares the same preamp and voicing as Tungsten's smaller combo--the Crema Wheat by having 2-12AX7 preamp tubes and a GZ34 rectifier tube.

why do you always do these reviews in a hotel room?

[premierguitar]

@H3lloSE These are demos we shot with manufacturers from the L.A. Amp Show, which is held in a hotel so that each company can have a room where people can turn up the gear without competing noises.

Bad ass amp, I might get one myself, I just wish his guitar was in tune. totally distracting from the tone.

[CrazyCow500]

@H3lloSE because all these amp shows are setup in hotel rooms. Builders set up their show rooms in hotel rooms.

this guy makes excellent tweeds, fair pricing too. i love the cream of wheat especially, 5e3 with more headroom, perfect!

I must be doing something wrong. Why do the shells stick to the eggs after boiling them? Can you help me with this reoccurring problem in my life? Thank you, Egg-less.

@yobhsiFehT ...I've just looked again.Search 'Crema Wheat' and you'll find CraigVmusic.

[fendermac]

@yobhsiFehT ...Don't sweat it. When you get to my age you'll be lucky to remember one thing a fortnight.I searched Craig V on youtube and a dealer came up.Didn't look like a particularly inspiring channel but then I wasn't really paying attention.Lol

@fendermac
