Commented Wylde:

I’m very excited for the launch of Wylde Audio in 2016. For me, it’s the next logical step. You start as a player, manager, VP of Team Operations, then Team Owner. I’ve surrounded myself with super talented people to make this vision become a reality and having Schecter on board as our distributor is going to allow me to bring Wylde Audio’s boutique quality of craftsmanship to the next level.

Commented Marc LaCorte, Schecter Guitar Research Executive Vice-president:

We are extremely proud to be working with Zakk and Wylde Audio on this endeavor. Zakk has been incredible in recognizing what he wanted in his own brand and bringing the best possible product to the market.

Def Leppard Release First Ever Steam Powered Amplifier


def leppard

Def Leppard is releasing their first ever steam powered amplifier named “The Boiler.” Sitting proudly atop a 4×12 speaker tank, The Boiler pumps out 104 degrees of sound guaranteed to give you that unique Aquasonic™ sound! Developed over the last five years in partnership with sound expert Professor Ron N, McKew, The Boiler is made out of 100% pure organic material and will run for up to 3 hours on one tank of purified water. Expected to go into production early 2016, The Boiler will retail at just £299 and will be available in a variety of colours.

Asked to comment of this extraordinary piece of equipment Joe Elliott said:

“At first, the rest of the band were quite skeptical about the possibility of harnessing the power of water & turning it into sound, but once they heard the prototype in action, they were all very excited about its potential.” The Boiler will be manufactured in a specially built earth friendly complex on the banks of the Derwent Dam on the outskirts of Sheffield, England, a place close to Joe Elliott’s heart. “When I was a little boy, my parents & I would sometimes take a drive out to the Derwent Dam & we’d marvel at the beauty of the area. Knowing also how it was used to practice the delivery if the bouncing bomb in WW2, I saw an opportunity to change the dynamic and the history of the dam from something remembered for its contribution to something destructive, into something more creative and positive”

The Boiler will be available in all good music shops in 2016. More info coming soon!

Today, #DefLeppard are proud to announce the release of their latest contribution to the music industry, the first ever…
