DEMO GEAR FOR SALE
Through our partnership with Full Compass, we get to try out demo gear. Approximately every six months we get a supply of amps, guitars, drums, keyboards and effects pedals for our students and bands to try out. Then after the six month period, we sell the demo gear. This gear is practically brand new and sells for less than you'll find it anywhere new.
See below for a list of our current gear selection.

An Evolution in Tone
VOX Custom Series amps offer two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.
Both channels rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone-shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain-staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Custom Series can deliver everything from a clean VOX "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone.
