I first met Steve Kuykendall in January, 2000, when he was the manager of American Music in Fresno, CA. I walked into the store to do a demo of our pedals and there was Steve, already set up with a Route 66, Marshall amp, and a small PA with a CD player. He ended up giving ME a demo! Steve proceeded to put on some Santana backing tracks and absolutely blew me away with his incredibly tasteful and blazingly hot style of playing. It's no wonder he's won every California guitar competition he's ever been in! And the tone through the Route 66 pedal into the Marshall's clean channel was amazing... and I've always been partial to Fenders!

Well, now it's your chance to hear Steve. Click on any of the following links to download an mp3 file of songs that Steve recorded direct using Route 66 American Overdrive. In his own words, "Think of it... even with NO amp!! NO Tubes!!! You can go STRAIGHT to PA Console or Multi-Trak!! It's the best sounding, most versatile PRE-AMP I've EVER used!!! So... can you imagine how INCREDIBLY AWESOME it sounds thru my Marshall?!" (taken from a note Steve sent with his CD)
