Sounds so sick!!!!

[@erickmazur807]

Misha Mansoor So says Bulb

[@TheSadistNat1on]

The invective is the first nice ampage I've ever bought. Everyone has the kemp or axe fx around me. I wanted them tubes; hopefully this will do it all for me.

[@1_rjc]

+Misha Mansoor hey Misha, any chance at releasing these in varied wattage? Perhaps a 50 watt version as well? I think that'd be a great move in the grand scheme of marketing

[@MishaMansoor]

You can run the amp at 60 watts!

[@hypahypahypa]

Sounds like "you can run this ferrari at 20 mph!" =)

[@celestialmonkey]

Wes Hauch is an absolute master of lead playing. Love his style so much

[@luthiervandros]

He’s in my top 5

[@littleredguitars2]

the mixture of brutality and clarity in this is pretty fucking impressive.

[@Resartusgaming]

I don’t know who mixed this but it is absolutely phenomenal. The invective has such a rich and smooth mid and top end. And the drums sound huge too

[@KeithMerrow]

I did all the production for the audio and video myself. Thanks!

[@DC33879]

Setius86 I was gonna say, but the man himself beat me to it! Keith, your production skills and musicianship are truly inspiring!

[@googuser3145]

Keith well done as always Peavey: $3k CAD... because you made it in the US... FUCK YOUR HAT TC100 $2800CAD JP2C $3200CAD You're no where near worth it.... bugger off to china...

[@ernestopicazo189]

Keith Merrow you are like a magician of metal!! Thanks for all the work that you share with us!

[@carlosmuniz7637]

Keith, it is impressive the volume of the drums set, what is the the process you did in order to get such a huge sound in those drums without surpassing 0db in your mix?

[@yantaran4757]

Good old Keith Merrow:)

[@BaenaCarcosa]

This sounds so fantastic

[@petermaroney]

how are you on every video i see?

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Because I watch the same things you do, I guess ;)

[@illuddivinus3309]

Andrew Baena you giant kiss ass man lol. He’s a cool dude in real life, lives in newberg Oregon, met him twice. Let’s be real though, Keith is in love with Behemoth.. aren’t we all.

Wes's solo playing dear Jesus lord help me

[@jtcconquer9532]

Dude, I know, so impressive melodically

[@jtcconquer9532]

The nuisances that most people would miss

[@tromboneman4517]

Minton Branham, I think that might actually be Marty Friedman. Not to take anything away from Wes.

[@tromboneman4517]

I was incorrect. It was Wes playing a solo written by Marty Friedman for this song.

[@robertlawson1184]

Him and Jeff Loomis are my top two favrote metal lead guitarists.

[@maxcraigen7199]

Dude, you need to do an updated studio tour! The new space looks amazing

[@mutantkoffee]

F00king dammit, the guitar, the tone, the playing, the riffs... thanks Keith for bringing this epic cosmic quantic thing to us, the mortals.

[@boostuse]

I love my Invective! Best amp I have ever played.

[@alreadyfuktup672]

Alluvial is the soundtrack to my dreams. waking and asleep. Thanks again Keith. Always so powerful (Guitar sound) and always inspires me to go pick my guitar up.

[@mikei5104]

Superb as always Kieth.

[@matttaylor1449]

Love the sound breakdown at the end.

This is amazing as always. Enjoying your videos since day one!

[@miguellopez106]

Thanks to this demo i made up my mind for this amp. Thank you!

[@rudolfbartel6624]

The phrasing of wes hauch is on another level. I cant compare his level to any other guitar player

[@mrhamburgler480]

Fragile Art his technique is flawless too. very little wasted picking hand movement/energy

[@YashGadwal]

Mr Hamburgler exactly! Reminds me of another amazing player, Anton Svedin from Soreption. He has a pretty similar technique, and his playing is as immaculate as Wes'.

[@alecbernal3824]

Soreption is the shit.

[@DevoutionAura]

sadly Anton is no longer in soreption

[@jeffreyquinonez8964]

Locrian 995 the dynamics exotic note choices and the little nuances make all the difference in the world. Its what separated this guy from most shredders.😎👍

[@ValKitsakis]

Incredible solos from Wes, brutal riffs from Keith. Loved it!

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

One of the best videos on KZbin: beautiful song with an ATMOSPHERE finally, beautiful sound and the explanation of the effects used. Flawless.

[@mattnunesmusica]

What a badass studio. Waiting a new studio walkthrough!

[@timothymckane6362]

Phenomenal guitar playing, Keith. I always love the rhythmic side of guitar playing.

[@smoreshaunted]

Thoroughly enjoyable. Visuals and audio both! Plus I learned some cool stuff about that two notes reload there, very cool!

[@loveguitarloveguitar2609]

Amazing playing and great sound!!, that solo from Wes Hauch was sick , great stuff guys

[@MrTheog1989]

Well damn. That sounds fantastic!

[@meganmcdowell6997]

WOW ! such a well thought out amp and presented in total style as always mr merrow . great job 10/10

[@sudeephembrom325]

definetly going for these fishman pickups.....nice rich tones

[@telecasteroil]

Good to see you doing well, sounds great , I like the master boost sound 👍

[@ESPSJ]

Wes is right up there with the best. One of the best guitarists walking this Earth right now imo.

[@EliPorterMahn]

You and wes hauch write such beautiful and crushing music

[@benanderson4269]

That guitar is absolutely GORGEOUS! And the tone of that amp and mix is incredible. Great work!

[@Gonz7711]

Merrow is the man. Killing it.

[@markmansoor5645]

Wow Keith you are such an incredibly talented musician. And very underrated too

[@hYpYz]

ok Ive watched it again...wow...I hope they have paid you good money because im sold on everything ...amp, guitar, music...and that solo...I need to listen to Alluvial more...this video is such a treat, thank you

[@chrisdudeword1]

This is about as good as a demo gets. Killer stuff dude.

[@Xulassu]

words don't quite describe you and wes properly, but congratulations on an absolutely phenomenal album. your music grips my soul in all the right places, thank you for sharing it

[@MetalHeadProductions]

Keith also bringing the massive mixes and great riffs. This was always my favorite off that first Alluvial record, feel so lucky to have seen them live.

[@hybrydtonesstudios1149]

Love the home studio style of Keith a Master Hybrid sound!!!

[@marday]

world class amp demo. on point!

[@luthiervandros]

Keith just discovered you. Tremendous composition, performance, and production. You and Wes are fantastic together. He has tons of feel. That’s usually missing from the genre.

[@Deamonition]

As always, great album Keith! And also... Damn is Wes insanely good or what!

[@hbomb495]

Had to watch this twice as the first time I was just paying attention to the different angle shots of the studio. The second time to appreciate the song. Absolutely stellar on all counts, it’s not often we get content from Keith but when we do it’s top shelf quality. P.S. studio walkthrough vid plz :P

[@drumualife]

Perfection in playing

[@TheVashnessItself99]

It's so sick how the riff at 0:50 is single picked but with the double bass it has this illusion of being a palm muted double picked part! I mean unless you've got an 8th note signle note chug thing going underneath, then that feeling would make sense. Just a testament to what drums can do.

[@hYpYz]

so good....

[@rickfeith6372]

Aww Keith....man everything you put out is awesome...by far one of tastiest players in this new world of low tunings and very angry intervals

[@MartyDadRiffs]

It's really cool to hear Wes' isolated solo.

[@Rivalspin]

This track is so deep and so diverse on so many levels. The whole album is just so organic and has that dark vibe unlike anything I’ve ever heard

[@SpeedbeetleV2]

Awesome. I love the lighting and atmosphere of your studio. Do Gabrielle next!

[@JJShalashaska]

The best musician to take as an example for songwriting skills and musical production

[@noknovum]

[@hotchow8766]

I want to congratulate you on your clean studio and effective lighting. I am very keen on 5:28 where I can see the LED lighting reaching out from behind the metal pegboards which are normally used for tools. One can rock or one can rock excellently. The choice is yours.
