Strandberg Boden Standard 7 - Non-Metal Series part 1 of 6; Ceriatone Champ Ultra

I've been trialing various 7 string fanned fret guitars to determine which one is most comfortable for me. Most 6 string necks, including Strandberg, are too small for my hands, but I can play 7 string necks much longer before my joints start barking at me. I recently obtained a Strandberg Boden Standard 7 (basswood solid body and Strandberg passive pickups). Since most Strandberg videos feature metal players or clean players that have incredible technique, I decided to record a series of videos playing the guitar through various common lower gain amps in a more blues and classic rock style. This one features Ceriatone's take on the classic American Champ circuit. Single ended 6V6 amp with harmonic tremolo and two preamp voicings; tweed and blackface. You'll know which is which in the video. Tweed is much more dirty.

No eq or compression were added. The reverb is from a room reverb plugin. The master track volume was adjusted some throughout the video, and a limiter (subtle setting) was used.
