The Grateful gear community lost another special man. Jason Ferguson you were such a special guy in the real world and gear world. You were like a brother doing the same work and play in tandem and I will miss you for that ! We were both always tinkering with guitars and amps and loving the idea of making the music tastier and helping musicians w their gear.
I wish your family and friends all peace, love and great music and times this holiday season.

One of my earliest customers reached out to me today and sent me a recording he just made going for 89-90 tone. I was pretty blown away at how accurate of a Garcia tone I heard! (Honestly happens rarely and I love hearing as many Jerry players as possible!) I was afraid to ask as I know he has tried nearly everything avail by now but I was blown away to hear it was his old 135w Shakedown Twin Reverb and his Leo Elliott built modern Irwin Rosebud! Wow. I had some chills and inspiration to go back for final touches w tweaks inspired by his old 135 twin and finished exactly what he had been looking for to upgrade. Many of my past and future clients are looking for just this. You will find The finest late 80's tones as well as all 70's tones in one amplifier. More info coming soon!
