kwartzlab tv debut

By

This Tuesday’s open lab night rocked (literally and figuratively). On the spur of the moment, we decided to create kwartzlab tv, and newcomers Karl Williams (above) and Paul Walker (below) enthusiastically agreed to drive our first two clips, completely unprepared and unscripted. Karl demo’d his biotronic amplifier and Paul demo’d a ruby guitar amp he built.

A big thanks to Karl and Paul for bringing out their projects. This is a great way to introduce yourself to kwartzlab when applying for membership or just hanging out. Come out and contribute next Tuesday.

Any donations of AV gear to help us boost production quality would be much appreciated. Here’s our capabilities buildout plan if you can help us in other ways.
