Nashville, TN – August 18, 2009 - No stranger to great guitar tone, Tom Weber recently stopped by 3RD POWER Headquarters in Nashville, TN, to witness for himself the source of all the fuss he’d heard from fellow guitar techs - the HLH100 Series Guitar Amplifier System. Don’t know who Tom is? He’s only the guitar technician for the legendary Mr. Ed Van Halen.

With regard to the ’68 plexi inspired HD100, Tom says, “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.”

The HLH-100 amplification system is an all-tube guitar amplifier setup featuring patent-pending technologies. The all-new HLH HD100 head and HLH 312 cabinet offer superior sensitivity, complex gain structure and tonal a palette designed for professional touring and recording guitarists that is free of the typical phasing issues associated with tyipcal 4x12 cabinets.

“The HD100 head delivers superior medium to high gain guitar tones and when combined with the new 312 cabinet, sonic nirvana is achieved,” explains Jamie Scott, principal visionary and owner, 3RD POWER.

This quad-powered EL34 head delivers incredibly rich distortion tones and cleans up as it should with a lighter touch and a spin of your guitar’s volume knob. Patent-pending DirecDRIV™ technology gives you smear-free tonality of your collection of unique instruments. “The nuances of various guitar designs and pickup choices are highly articulate when playing through the HD100,” says Scott. Foot-switchable lead boost allows users to easily alternate between preset volume levels.

Tom’s career in the music industry has spanned over 30 years. During that time, he’s designed and built and maintained an incredible array of musical instruments, amplifiers and electronic systems. From his unique perspective, Weber says, the HD100 is “... truly what I feel the Plexi should have become by now. I certainly would love to own one of these myself!"
