    In a world full of worthless influencers, who just seem to take what they can.
    Dave, you have paid your dues over the years, you sir, definitely deserve all the goodness that is given and/or sent to you.
    As I’ve said before, your openness on mental health struggles is what makes me and many others admire you.
    And then there’s your guitar and music channel, you give so so much of your time and yourself.
    Dave, you are a true inspiration to many and show nothing but humility.
    You are a blessing

    I got my MkII 100 based largely on the testimonal and videos that you did (not _just_ you, but mainly yours).
    I *love* my Katana, it has been a far more significant guitar purchase for me than any of my actual guitars or outboard pedals; the first time I just played my fairly mediocre LH Peavey Exp through it clean, at volume, was a life-changing experience and made me completely re-evaluate my guitar itself, and my playing.
    They're great amps, especially if you get the Librarian or the Android app and dig into the settings a little.
    This is a great demo, loved it. You would have sold me on a Gen 3 if I didn't have a 12-month old Mk II 🙂
