This demo was one of the main reasons why I bought a Carr Mercury V. Awesome playing too, Rodney. Crazy chops!
-
Aww Man, I just wanted this to go on all night! Mr Gene Jr you are without question the consummate professional, delivering the very best equipment demos and musical experiences on the interwebs. Thank you kindly sir!
-
Thanks! l this is probably the BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN ON U-TUBE--Great playing and man, what a way to show off that little Mercury V amp--it's unbelievable.
-
I am really dig your playing. I might have to sell a Divided by 13 for a Carr. The more I hear the more I love. Great tone and versatility. Thank you!
-
I purchased this amp. Its crazy that even the highest gain settings are completely quiet. No hiss or hum anywhere. The tones are to die for. It matches perfect with my Les Paul . Sweet cleans and enough overdrive to do anything from Blues to classic rock. The attenuator is icing on the cake. I cant say enough good things about it. This blows his previous version out of the water and most every other amp I ever had.

I think what I like about your playing is it made me HAPPY
-
Rodney, you are a true treasure. Enjoyed your chops and the demo. I was fortunate enough to get to play a Mercury V yesterday and you did the amp justice sir!
-
Awesome demo! This really helped me to hear the range of the new Mercury. I love the growl it gets with a Tele and a little bit of gain. Great job!
-
Kudos to Rodney.....man you really show the tones this amp can give. Love your playing!
-
This demo was one of the main reasons I bought this amp 2 years ago. I still think it is an awesome amp... really hard to beat!
-
Rodney, WOW! This video convinced me to place my order for a Mercury V. Thank you so much for taking the time to demo so many different guitars and styles in a professional manner. Well done sir!

Next time I'm in Austin I'm hunting you down man. You are simply one of those guys. Great playing with a no BS vibe. And, you invoked a pretty damn good Paul Kossoff style and tone when you wanted it, kudos.
-
I just love Rodney Gene Jr. ! Such a tasteful player ! I also owe you one Rodney . My main two drive pedals on my Board = Ethos TWE- 1 and Fully Loaded Ethos Overdrive with HRM option. Got both after seeing your Demos on these Gems !

Great amp, great demo, fantastic playing Rodney, all the genres!
