This is hands down the greatest amp I've ever played.

I was working for Pearl Jam the first time I heard an Atom. Mike was playing one, and the tone was incredible. I'm now endorsed by Satellite, and ever since the owner Adam sent it to me, I've never looked back. The tone truly speaks for itself. Classic soul, but with its own unique breakup.

I've been dying to try one of these but since I no longer play professionally I haven't made an opportunity to try one out.

"I’m using that [65amps] in conjunction with a Satellite head—Satellite is a local [Seattle] company—and I think it’s a 32- or 35-watt."

"I was doing a show in San Diego and my buddy said I had to check out these amps that were built in town. So they both came down before the show and Adam [Grimm, of Satellite Amps] brought one of his first heads, and we plugged it into my Marshall TV 4x12s. I remember I was playing my ’59 Junior and all I could think was, “Man, this is happening.” At the time, I was using a ’69 plexi and a ’72 metal-faced Marshall—amps that make people look at me like I’m crazy to have them onstage—but the Satellite was just bringing it as well as those old Marshalls. And for what we do—onstage and recording— Adam’s 36-watt head is perfect. I mean, I was spoiled for years with those two Marshalls, but the Satellite heads I’ve been using are exceptional. Everyone tends to hang tightly to those sought-after guitars and amps—including yours truly—but the great thing about gear is trying new stuff and being happily surprised."
