I deviate a lot from traditional topology to maximize those characteristics while correcting the problems that those amps have."

Bassist for Razer and former Krank Product Manager Chris Catero and band mate Jordan Ziff recently contacted us to talk guitar speakers. After hearing what tonal characteristics they were looking for we decided they needed to give our CV-75 British-voiced model from our Redcoat series a try. Apparently we hit the nail on the head, because they were so taken with the tones from this speaker they decided to share their thoughts in this video. Very well done!

As a company we build to a standard, not a price point." says Jon-Paul Painton, Marketing Director at Love Tree Amplifiers.
