8 Amp Show
By Joe Coffey, Oscar Jordan and Chris Kies
Not to disrespect any guitar or amp shows
involving big, open convention halls that
sound like twenty Guitar Centers on a
Saturday afternoon—we’re big fans of going
anywhere gear is gathered—but there’s
something to be said about Loni Specter’s
L.A./N.Y. Amp Show formula. Instead of
booths, each vendor has a hotel suite. You
walk from room to room and fire up any
piece of gear you want, as loud as you want,
all while spending some quality time with
the manufacturers themselves. Imagine rolling into the Fuchs room with your guitar,
plugging into the new ODS-HRM and having
Andy Fuchs himself show you how the amp’s
unique post-overdrive tone stack works.
