We are very proud that Mr. Warren Haynes used his Zeeta 0.5->20 Gold on Deja Voodoo and Hittin' the Note along with his Soldano and Diaz. For some premium Zeeta sound samples, pick up these outstanding CDs.
During a 2004 concert in Denver, a fellow Zeeta owner (our good friend Shawn a.k.a. Stickman) yelled out that he is a Zeeta owner. Mr. Haynes came right on over and gave Shawn his time, a pic and an autograph to boot. Now that's a very cool rock star!

"A book like this is LONG overdue. It is what I had envisioned for the DRG Knowledge Base. I wish I'd written it!."

"There's a wealth of information here The Guitar Amplifier Player's Guide on biasing, impedance matching, speakers, tube substitution, and classic tube amps."

"While there are plenty of amps possessing an impressive range of tones, there's nothing that compares to the Ganesha's broad range of controllable dynamic response."

Ganesha Exotica Award, March 2004, page 179
"The Zeeta's Wattage control provides a musically effective means of limiting the volume, and the Sag circuit is truly remarkable in its ability to produce big-amp sustain, sensitivity, and response at very low volumes. It's like having a continuously variable selection of rectifier tubes, and it's definitely one of the most innovative circuit features ever used in a guitar amp."

Zeeta Editor's Pick Award, August 2000, page 116
"And that's the deal with Maven Peal--the Sag Circuit works as advertised."

"This amp can be quiet as a mouse ordrive you from your house -- without sacrificing its natural tone."

Maven Peal 0.5->50 Review
"Usually, when I'm using the Diaz or the Marshall or the Soldano, I'm combining it with the Zeeta, which fills out some of the midrange in a really cool way--just makes it a larger sound. The Zeeta is definitely the cleanest tone..."

"This pedal [the Howler] rocks! It really delivers the warmth and complexity that is ever elusive from any other pedal I've tried! It is the ultimate lead/boost for my live setup."

"... [the Ganesha] nails the 'Vintage British Plexi' vibe... Extraordinary punch and power carries complex overtones to the back rows of any venue. For playing live, this amp is fantastic."

"Not only is the howler dead quiet, it is also completely transparent to the original sound source. I can't speak for everyone but personally my ideal when it comes to tone is "sustain without distortion". Now ,obviously your going to get some distortion when generating sustain, but the minimum distortion level created by the howler is nothing short of amazing. When plugged in front of my 1964 fender vibroverb, and I imagine any vintage non master volume amp, the notes sing and sustain for days. Add the sag control, and you have complete control of attack,sustain, gain, and volume. The same holds true for my more modern amps as well. The bottom line is, you have created a pedal that is going to be the gold standard as soon as the rest of the world catches on."
