"It’s everything I was looking for - warmth, balance, punch and power. The sensitivity or speed of the amp is amazing and the dynamic range is so musical… It was such a relief to just let go and play music without thinking about the amp. I love it!"
Jimmy Haslip
"I've been looking for a versatile amplifier that compliments the quality of my instruments and playing style. I love playing through my Trickfish rig! And as an added benefit, it's light‐weight and fits in the trunk of my car!"
Hussain Jiffry
"Even though my primary focus is Latin Jazz, I'm called on to play a wide variety of music. I needed a rig to cover all the bases on both electric and acoustic and was blown away with the warmth, tone, and power of the Trickfish gear. I now have all the headroom I need to play dynamically. I can play music now and just forget about the amp - Trickfish is in another league!"
