Hacker Amp Demo "Chicken Catcher Blues"

I've never tried to catch a chicken but imagine it is not easy - you nonchalantly happen by before making a grab, then in a flurry of claws and flapping feathers the dang bird gets away, mocking you from the roof of the coop...!

The Hacker Sovereign II radio/amp was repaired and converted for guitar by Smojo, our very own electronics wizz kid, and I couldn't be happier with the sound - very rich and revealing, I used Punch 2 for the demo and for fun made up the musical piece almost on the fly, a usual Sunday morning noodle, though a few other builds i tried sounded pretty good. No effects - the sound you hear is true! The amp is very loud and breaks up nicely with increased volume, I will be making more songs with this I can see! (-:

PLAY LOUD !

Awesome! that is a good looking amp and sounds great.

I gotta find me a bigger radio. My radio hack sounds good but I wish it were louder.
