Something for Guitarists and Bassists…

Laney Amplification has been a longtime supporter of metal4africa and has provided us with kick-ass backline since our first event in June, 2007. Now we are privileged to be able to take that partnership up one level.
Free!

Amp Crank is a free workshop inviting all guitarists and bassists (over 18, unfortunately) to meet together at Burn for an insight into the practical aspects of solid state versus valve technology - something which still remains a mystery to many!

Additionally, for those who have the courage, members of the public are invited to try out some of these top-of-the-line amplifiers, used by the likes of Bill Kelliher (Mastodon), Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth), Mattias ‘IA’ Eklundh (Freak Kitchen) and Toni Iommi (Black Sabbath), which will be onsite for the workshop.

Presenters will be Francois ‘Flapper’ Pretorius and Patrick Davidson of Mind Assault. Bassist to be announced.

DATE: Saturday 5 September, 2009
TIME: 14:00 till 16:30 (presentation at 14:00, Q&A + tryouts till 16:30)
VENUE: Burn Nightclub
ADDRESS: 2nd Floor Fidelity House, Walls Avenue, Greyville, Durban (just off Umgeni Drive)
COST: Free Entrance - cash bar trading throughout.


Also on 5 September will be the metal4africa “A Showcase of African Metal”, taking the night time slot at Burn. Make a day of it and come see some of SA’s most talked about bands alongside those from your own region.
    Thanks for that - hope to make it.
      Amp crank was pretty awesome in cape town, i am just dissapointed in the poor attendance we had for a FREE!!! workshop.

      Take your guitars with, you get to play with any amp you want to, its fun ?

            BUwhaaaahaaaahaha!

            Amp Crank was wicked cool, you guys missed out! ???

            They had some monster Laney amps there, serious valve hardware. Francois Pretorius & Patrick Davidson from MindAssault did a deMonstration.......all I can say is SA has some worldclass talent, these guys can jam!
              Ah man. I wanted to hear the all valve distortion... Did they do some intense chuggnation on them amps? Im tired of hearing teensy amps being used in gigs.
                Hehehe, it was a feast for the ears!!! ?

                They had 2 big guns, think they were 120w valve heads with a 4x12" cabs......if I my mind's not playing tricks on me, I enjoyd a few hop enriched beverages... :-[
                  Laney amps are really great amps! Very underated. I'm gonna miss my combo when it's gone. ?
