In today's video, Paul Drew from The Studio Rats is checking out an amp from Italian amp manufacturer MezzaBarba called the Skill 30.
I've dismissed MEZZABARBA amps in the past due to the look of them, they've always struck me as just high-gain metal amps but how wrong could I have been these amps are awesome!
To check out our MEZZABARBA SILL 30 CAPTURES go to our website link below

Here is what MEZZABARBA say about the SKILL 30
The first channel is derived from the M ZERO Standard in the view of granting it the best possible interface with pedals. A Bright and a Boost switch, together with the great equalizer, allow it to yield all of the sounds that a single channel amp can possibly deliver. The second channel is M ZERO Overdrive channel which starts as crunch and saturates exponentially with amazing sustain and harmonic richness, leaving musicians and audiences in awe.
The ingenious switching system does not alter the dynamic and fluidity of the amp, and allows to swap between channels in an unprecedented smooth fashion.
The innovative Power control allows the Skill to deliver a full-body, saturated sound even at very low volumes, which makes this amp a perfect tool to enjoy even at home. Finally, the switchable, full-tube effects loop allows for endless sound possibilities.
The Skill was born to Rock but can do anything, at any volume, in any place. Nothing will be the same anymore.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

I was blown away by the tone Eric Steckel was getting with the 100W heads. Awesome!

That amp sounds Epic. As an aside, a few years back I bought a used Massotti (Sister company to Mezzabarba) rack preamp that had a fault, and Pierangelo Mezzabarba replied to all my emails personally and diagnosed the problem (A dodgy aftermarket mod) and helped to get it fixed. Totally blown away by his customer service and the effort he put in to help me considering I bought the gear used and didn't have a warranty.

Love my Mezzabarba MZero Overdrive amp and like it even better than Soldano as has better tone range and features. Hand made quality. A masterpiece. Desert island amp up there with the best of Wizard, Diezel, and Bogner.

I had a similar prejudice against Engl amps. I thought they looked metal and shred - turns out they also have incredible cleans and crunch tones too! I think we’re in an incredible era for amps.

Loved it! It does look too metal, or modern, for me too, however the tone is there! And kudos for using a strat with gain. RU-vid “knowledge” has nearly outlawed that and it’s annoying how much of a burden all these RU-vid guitar “experts” for us all to use thing according to their categories.

It is. Paul has two different black fender relics. One is 3 single coils and the one with the pink under it has a humbucker. Oh my mistake he’s only using the one fender black relic. The pick ups are ancho pablonas. Spicy and hot.

I saw Mrs Smith in the cutting room in NYC and that was through a Skill head, one of the best live guitar sounds I've ever heard! (I think if you search Mrs. Smith drone solo you will find a video that is unaltered audio..and its brilliant)

The power knob is not an attenuator. When you turn the volume very low and the amp gets muffled, you then turn the power knob up and the amp opens. In reverse, if you like old plexi sound at reasonable volume, you turn the power knob down and you get this more compressed, dark brown sound, like a plexi all on 10. I was also very confused with the power knob when I got mine. I talked to Pierangelo Mezzabarba and he told me, the first editions had an attenuator, but on the newer ones they refined the volume knobs and added the actual „power“ function.
