Pinoy Rock Legend Wally Gonzales Plays with Trodt Guitar Amp

Postby ESaudio » Fri Oct 04, 2013 7:00 pm

Wally Gonzales of Juan de la Cruz Band performs at the recent Philippine 2nd International Jazz and Blues Guitar Festival at Trinoma last September 16, 2013: :rock: :rock: :rock:

Mang Rod, myself and a friend were supposed to be invited to see the festival. But I was out on a professional call of duty to Pagadian, Zamboanga del Sur. MR also didn't make it. Just lucky that someone took a video and posted this clip at Youtube. Wally has been regularly using the Trodt guitar amp in his gigs and soon . . . :D :D :D

Yes Mike!

Trodt Audio just came out with this guitar amp last August. It's designed in pushpull configuration rated at 60watts per channel (mono). We will also come out later with stereo design. We are using the KT88 tubes. In order to test its performance, we were so honored to have our most revered Pinoy guitarist Wally Gonzales who, through a friend, accepted our invitation to test the amp. From then on, he never turned his back from this amp in all his performances in and out of the country. 8)

The amp was designed by Mang Rod with the basic tone controls like bass, treble, bright/normal, overdrive and trimmer features and of course, the volume controls (for main and trimmer). And you can just buy the effects module/gadget to be hooked up with this amp as there are many available effects module out there in the market rather then cramming and squeezing so many tone controls and effects in one unit. 8)

ESaudio,
Thanks for the info. I'm in the market for a "Marshallish type" amp, but would like something in the 20-25 watt range. Powerscaling would be awesome too.
Glad to know that Wally G. is still rockin' after all these years. I grew up learning Wallys Blues, and a bunch of JDLC/Pinoy Rock songs. I still prefer his guitar tones back in the day though (with a Gibson SG)...

Yes Mike!

The unit with Wally G is in pushpull/parallel configuration/mono using four (4) premium GEC KT88 tubes and designed for four (4) speakers 12" drivers. We have designed and just delivered another unit to another local band designed in single/mono using two (2) KT88 tubes rated at 40-50 watts. (see this link: http://youtu.be/XH9sdrOXWSY ). Mang Rod, our audio designer, can also design and assemble a unit with 20-25 watts rating using 6L6 tubes. If you need one, please let us know.

During the auditioning of the amp, Wally did talk a lot about his observations with other guitar amps he used. And, MR is truly elated that Wally is having the fell and enjoyed jamming with the new amp.

Incidentally, MR winds his own power transformers and output trannies and designs his own point-to-point circuit. :D
