Dear Friends of Budda,

As we expand our artist list and showcase guitarists that shaped the voice of rock guitar, we couldn't think of a better spokesperson then the Godfather of tone, Leslie West. Leslie is a pioneer of raw and powerful guitar tones, from his early and current days with Mountain, to West, Bruce and Laing, he forged a revolutionary synthesis of blues and metal. To watch Leslie in action, is to watch a freight train coming at you full steam down the tracks. He takes no prisoners when he plays and is constantly pushing the envelope of guitar playing to the extremes.

We are excited and honored to have the legendary Leslie West playing custom built Budda Superdrive Series II "L.A.W." amps and cabs on his up coming fall tour with the great, Joe Satriani.

Prashant Aswani Demo

This years Namm show rocked! We debuted our new V-20 and V-40 amps loaded with 6V6's with rave reviews. Everyone commented on how the cream panel and checkerboard grille cloth nailed the vibe of the amps. We will have videos up soon showcasing the amps. Stay tuned.

We got a request for a demo on a Superdrive 18 for guitarist, Prashant Aswani at the ESP guitar booth. After hearing him rip, we were glad we did! Check the video for his fluid playing, great composition and killer tone.
