"The Belchfire's got a powerful crunchy chime that's letting me do things that I wasn't able to with my other amps. The spooky clarity reaches into all corners of the room. It's a little loud ...we might have to swap the tube rectifier back in.'' - Jake Kiska, Greta Van Fleet

" There’s a song we have called Brave New World that has this fuzzy, crackly tone that really overdrives the pre-amp where I used a Jext Telez Face.

This is the guitar Jake used at Coachella in 2018. This is presumably because his '61 was getting repairs for a crack on the back. This guitar is a 1963 style SG with the Lyre vibrola. It is possible that it is an original, however it looks rather mint condition, so the SG original is my best guess. This is also(I think) the only gig he used it at. The next day he was using his '61.
