My band Born of Plagues just released our second full length album TODAY! For you gear nerds, I performed all of my clean guitar parts using the Lycanthrope Amp (Laney AOR clone), and all of my sludgy parts using the Thylacine Amp (Sunn Model T clone 60 watt version). Listen here:

The Lycanthrope Amp - a Laney AOR Clone pushing up to 30 watts of power with two EL84 tubes. This is a very long playthrough demo where I used a couple different guitars, and tried adding some pedals towards the end half. This amp is so amazing. This is #2. Custom built for a customer that loves Laney AOR amps.

This is a FULL playthrough of the Death Cap Amplification - Lycanthrope Amp which is a clone of a 1980' Laney AOR Pro-Tube Lead guitar amp. The Lycanthrope...

This is what I have to deal with sometimes on amp parts orders. This is the worst one yet…

1. Started in Arizona
2. Made it to Pennsylvania
3. Went back to Arizona
4. Made it back to Pennsylvania 2nd time
5. Went back to Arizona for 3rd time
Me 😑 still waiting…

Come on USPS, what is going on over there??

Here it is, the first Laney AOR clone in existence (as far as I’m aware, haven’t been able to find any clone of these amps yet). It’s amazing. I will be shipping it to the Distortion Principle YouTube channel for a demo and review before it goes to the customer. Stoked on this one! Biggest challenge I’ve had to date. And it was worth it.

Mark of the Distortion Principle did an amazing demo of one of my amps…. Sounds killer 🤘🏻🔥
