I got a chance to meet Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins last weekend before the band took stage at the Ascend Amphitheater here in Nashville. It was a fantastic show. I think the band is sounding better now than they ever have in my opinion. Jeff Schroeder's guitar tone was amazing, it really stood out to me.
I talked to Billy about what I'm doing as far as bringing Vampower back. He was interested in the amplifier reissue I'm building as he actually owns an original Vamp amp that he used on the Oceania album. I gave him a custom Leadmaster fuzz I built for him with a serial number of "Zero" for obvious reasons.
