Actually I picked this amp today just because Craig Anderton from HC is quoted in the Guitar World Ad :)
It would be nice if they had some clips, though :o

Their website also looks into the future, too. Pretty cool.
January 17, 2009 - Launch!
January 17, 2009 Anaheim, California - BOLT Guitar Amplification Systems launched their tube guitar amp head, slant and flat-faced cabinets and combo amp at the NAMM show today.
BOLT Guitar Amplifiers feature tube preamps and tube power amps that are combined with a DSP that enhances the tubes ability to operate at their optimal level across the entire volume range. This is similar to a cars digital engine control system, which monitors and adjusts the spark and fuel/air mix to greatly improve engine performance at all RPMs. BOLTs proprietary Active Amp Response System does this by monitoring the output of the tubes and continually adjusting the amplifiers response to maximize the tone at all clean or distortion settings at any volume, which creates one big sweet spot.
