Critic Reviews

Rocktron Widowmaker & Velocity 100 LTD reviewed in TopGuitar magazine - TopGuitar.eu

topguitar.eu

Rocktron Widowmaker strikes a chord with those delving into heavily distorted realms, offering a rich palette for analog enthusiasts. While it excels in gritty tones, it doesn't shy away from delivering clean sounds either. Paired with the Velocity 100 LTD, which refrains from distorting at high volumes, it suits guitarists who prioritize clean settings. However, its niche appeal may not resonate with everyone, especially those indifferent to analog soundscapes.
