Dave's Guitar Amps
March 4, 2010
Made an Egnater TOL 100 mine at last!
I've been looking for one of these amps off and on for the last few years, but they've been getting increasingly difficult to find.  I'm thrilled to report that I finally obtained an Egnater TOL ("Tone of Life") 100 amplifier today!  These amps were used by Steve Vai in 1996 and 1997.  See the Egnater and all my amps on the gear page.

Dave Rottenberger meets Steve Vai at NAMM
I had the pleasure of meeting one my real life "guitar heros," Steve Vai, at Winter NAMM in Anaheim, California.  I caught up with Steve at the Ibanez booth on Friday, January 16 and again at the Carvin booth on Saturday, January 17.  Here's a full size pic of me with Steve.

Steve was very approachable, conversational, and kind enough to dedicate an autographed photo to me and another to my kids.  Thanks Steve!
