Bruce Egnater shows Premier Guitar his new amps at NAMM '08. This one, the Tourmaster 4100, is a 4 channel 100 watt amp capable of setting different wattage levels for each channel. Keith Howland of the band Chicago is the demo guy for this vid, exploring what each channel is capable of. He's actually playing the amp for the first time in this video! Of course, we put him on the spot and ask him what he thinks. He digs it, of course! This is the amp Eganter is selling through Guitar Center.
