NEW CLIPS: Trillium amps have been popping up in recordings all over America, we're working on getting clips for you to hear. Singer/songwriter Marc Imboden recently used a Trillium 2x12 Combo for a recording project and sent us a copy of the song. Marc was invited to participate in an album of kid's songs, and he did a killer Rock-a-Billy version of "Wheels on the Bus." Check it out on the SONG CLIPS page.

A PRO'S PERSPECTIVE: Recently, Grammy-award winning producer and guitarist Pete Anderson had the opportunity to check out a Signature 1x12 combo and was thrilled with the results.

THE NAMM SHOW: Trillium Amplifier Company will be attending the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim California from January 15-18, 2008. We will be exhibiting in BOOTH 1276, which is in Exhibit Hall "E". For you show veterans, you will know Hall "E" as the lower level where all the cool kids hang out.
You can see an interactive exhibit hall map HERE. We will be debuting some new products that are currently under construction, and we're excited to meet you all. We are still looking for dealers, so please stop by and learn about us.
CUSTOM SERIES: One day over lunch (all our best ideas happen at lunch) Scott decided to try building a two-tone amplifier with a cool 50s vibe using a pearlescent finish. The results were so stunning and the feedback so positive, we decided to keep the line! Featuring the same Nace M1-7 chassis as our other amps, the Customs will be available in nine colors. We also offer a no-charge distressed upgrade which will leave the amps looking pawn shop fresh!

DALLAS WRAP UP: The Dallas Guitar Show was a blast, we met so many great people and made some good friends. Big thanks to Gordon at Flaxwood Guitars, Bob Burris from Burris Amplifiers, Jason, Trent, and the fellas at King Doublebass, and Paul Smith from PRS Guitars.

NEW OLD FAVORITE: From the dark depths of the Trillium Vault comes The Empyrean, our newest model. According to Scott, the spiritual leader of Trillium, mythology states that the Empyrean is the place in heaven where God keeps fire. Perhaps the most challenging amplifier to build, we are proud to once again offer the Empyrean to you. Empyrean #1 has been sold to The Music Zoo in Little Neck, New York. Check with them for details!
There are many other things to cover, but it's all top secret for now. Check back soon for more updates!
Thank you for everything you do to support us.
