 Hey, I'm Kerpaloo from the Van Converge and God City Recording Studio. Which black star amp do I use? Well, I have an Artisan 30. I have one in Europe and one at home in the States. And I really enjoy it. I've always really loved sort of Vox AC30 derived and sort of, you know, the classic British E-L84 Open Back 212 style amps. There's like, something about the Open Back 212 cabinet has the right balance of focus and openness. And there's like a chiminess to it, but there's also a throatiness. It just seems to be like a really well-balanced, basic kind of rock guitar amp. And I think black stars really kind of dialed in that design and further and given it like the sort of depth that it needed in order to be right for the kind of playing that I do. Something about that cabinet is just like the perfect size and shape and it just always records great. I think the black star amps work really great in a live scenario, especially the models that have some power scaling or some sort of wattage adjustment built into it. I find that a lot of places, particularly when we're touring in Europe the PA systems are not loud enough to handle really cramped up guitars through them. And I want the audience to be able to hear the drummer and hear the singer. And when I'm on stage, I want to be able to hear the drummer as well. And I'm sure you can all hear the drummer right now. So an amp that has the tone of loud while still being able to be played in a manageable volume is something that I'm always on request for. I think particularly with the Artisan 30 and the Series 1 amps, they're really nailed back. My relationship with black stars has been great. They've been very accommodating. Whenever I've needed something and I've gotten in touch, they've been quick to respond to me and help me try out and find the right amps that will work for me. And I've really enjoyed working with them so far. Well, currently Converge is on a two-week European tour where we're playing a mix of club dates and festivals. And when we're finished with this, we've all got some personal life stuff to do when we get home. I'll be back working in my studio. I have a lot of upcoming great recording projects. High on Fire, for example, is one of my next big ones. And then after that, we're going to get back together and start writing some new songs. And hopefully, I'd like to say we'll record a record in 2015. I can't guarantee that. But hopefully, there will be new Converge material on the horizon. Hey, I'm Kirk Lew from Converge.
