 3rd Power Amplification SV3015 Stereo Tube Power Amp Pairs Perfectly With Eleven Rack...
There are plenty of guitar power amplifiers out there, but the 3rd Power Amplification SV3015 Stereo Tube Power Amp may just be the first that was specifically designed to bring the Eleven Rack to glorious, roaring life. We met up with 3rd Power founder and designer of the SV3015 Jamie Scott at Winter NAMM 2010 to hear how the rig sounded, and to get a close-up look at its bevy of super-smart design features.

 3rd Power Amplification HLH HD100 And 3rd Power HLH 312 Speaker Cabinet: Like A Cheer Squad That Rocks, Hard...
Who'd have thunk a design this aesthetically radical could be based on such practical concerns? The 3rd Power Amplification HLH HD100 head is a mean-sounding 100watt-er that was introduced at Summer NAMM, but with a preamp revision that makes it an impressively versatile guitar amplifier. As you can hear in this NAMM video, it goes from country-certified clean to "Wylde"-style metal distortion, hitting all points in between.

Whether you're touring or recording, this 2x12 extension cab may just be the most flexible around; watch this NAMM 2010 video to find out why.

 ...According to the tour's FOH sound engineer, Mark Brnich of 8TH Day Sound, Townshend was using a different amp during rehearsals. "We only did about 10 days rehearsal, and this is the first time I've worked with him as an engineer," states Brnich. "During the rehearsal, I was in a completely separate room, so I'm not even sure what he was using. But the 3RD Power rig definitely sounds better. It's got more balls to it, more bite. It's fatter sounding."

 Tom Weber, guitar tech for Mr. Edward Van Halen recently auditioned the HLH100 system and says of the ’68 plexi inspired HD100 amp head, “This amplifier far surpassed my expectations. There was nothing that I asked it to do that was not met by no less than stellar performance.” Weber continues, the HD100 is “... truly what I feel the Plexi should have become by now. I certainly would love to own one of these myself!”
