The Landmine
- As described by Jonathan the developer...

The LANDMINE represents two things to me that I thought I would "Never" do; one the step into Mass Production and two, a Solid State design. My passion for vacuum tube audio is so ingrained that the thought, even a year ago of either of these two things being developed at Mill Hill Creations would have caused quite a laugh from me. What changed? Well, I started to desire increased exposure to what we were accomplishing with quality of Tone and aesthetic design. Financially, if you are not selling designs in strong numbers the ability to continue creating ceases! : ( So I wanted my Brothers and Sisters to turn on to my work and what better way than to create a product that has sonic merit enough to cause a $199. purchase!

Solid State : "Put Sand in your signal and you get gritty sound!" Well maybe this is true... But what if you were trying to get a grittier tone? What if you started to understand that all tone has a setting that is perfect?! Who can say anything is bad, or good for that matter, maybe "IS" is closer to the truth. So freeing myself of preconceived notions; pulling out a clean sheet of paper and designing a device that is simple yet thought out may be just the thing that we need!

The LANDMINE has two controls with the first being "Gain". With the gain turned all the way down, the effect has a vintage vibe imparted on the tone, rolled off highs with a sheen of age. As the gain is turned up, the effect moves through aggression and speed ending up in a pure explosion! The second control is output volume, with the control set low, a thin speedy almost tweeky tone is present. As the volume is increased the amplifier is treated with pure over drive grind, which is quite addictive. The two controls combined with the drive of your Guitar or Bass volume offers many interactive options. Bass, yes Bass! One of the things that I wanted to address with the LANDMINE was that most effects are copies of designs that were popular during much different sounding eras. I.E. "Thinner, high pitched 80's hair band torture actually". Today we like a much more powerful tone, offering girth, meat and rip your head off power! All aspects of a LANDMINE!

Couple all of this with mindful design, quality components in a tightly hand wired point to point circuit, and you have the makings of an explosion for the masses!

 

 

 

I have been asked lately about promoting a product that has such horrific war overtones, could I be a hypocrite?! Maybe a touch sarcastic at times, like now; the truth is I am a peace loving soul that wishes to elevate the consciousness of war, war toys and the loss of life for reasons that escape me!? If you view my bio, you will see that I have spent some time working for Sam in a number of ways, most of which I am not at liberty to speak of. So please help all of your Brothers and Sisters, and use the LANDMINE to inspire your own spin on life, liberty and the American Way!
