Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built with Bill Kelliher and Dave Friedman, the Butterslax is a 100W, three-channel tube head powered by four EL-34s. Its channels progress from slight overdrive through hard rock, then into metal-oriented and extreme-gain territory. Gain, master, bass, middle, and treble controls appear on the first two channels, while an ultra-transparent effects loop supports an effects-based rig. It is hand-wired in the United States and aimed squarely at players wanting a high-gain amplifier.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio or recording rigs built around multi-channel high-gain guitar sounds.
- Players moving from slight overdrive and hard rock into metal-focused gain.
- Effects-loop setups paired with a three-channel tube head.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
