One awesome amp...

I was a friend of the late 'Asim Can Gunduz' also known as Awesome John... and I can tell you he really was awesome. I had discussions with both him and Pierangelo about the M-Zero Overdrive amp but ultimately I did not buy it at the time although Asim was so enthusiastic about the amp.

Later I did buy one with a number of features that I wanted to see that Mezzabarba did not offer originally on this head. Indeed I have a review coming up presently on the head I bought and will be covering that amp in its entirety on my YouTube channel presently. If you play rock or metal then the M-Zero is exactly what you are looking for and while I have loads of tube amplifiers the M-Zero Overdrive is everything that 'Awesome John' told me it would be... and more!
