Pittsburgh, PA (Top40 Charts/ MTS Management) Rock 'n' Growl Records' metal shred guitarist,
Xander Demos is happy to announce his artist endorsement arrangements with three premiere guitar equipment manufacturers:
Matrix Amplification, Fractal Audio Systems and Mission Engineering.
Xander adds them to his impressive list of artist endorsements, which includes Suhr and McNaught guitars, maker of his XD 727 Signature Model guitar, ISP Technologies, V-picks, Dixon cases and others. Xander's likeness and bio will be added to the new endorsement companies' websites in the coming months.
The endorsement of Matrix, Fractal Audio and Mission spearheads Xander's new, streamlined approach to his live performance rig.
Xander says, "As soon as December 15th hits, it's gonna be an all out assault on clubs…between Jukebox (one of his local cover bands) and
Xander Demos Band. Plus, Sabbath Judas Sabbath (Xander is a member) is going to spool up soon again. I am sooooo done with lugging around huge racks. My rig is getting scaled down to something realistic and something that sounds amazing. The Fractal Audio Axe-FX II and the
Matrix GT800 amp weigh about 12 lbs. combined and they sound HUGE! Seriously, the next guitarist I meet that tells me that they have to have a 100 watt Marshall to get tone is gonna get my foot up his ass, haha ."
Xander has opened live shows for acts like Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob, Buckethead, Dio
Disciples and others. This winter, he will embark on a series of solo dates in the mid-atlantic region, starting in White Marsh, MD at The House of Rock in February. He is also scheduled to perform at Rock Harvest II, also in Maryland in November 2013.
