A New Rogue Coming To Town: The DragoN Hybrid Vacuum Tube Amplifier

April 8, 2019 Michael Lavorgna
If you read my Rogue Road Tour, you’ll have read about their new hybrid vacuum tube amplifier, the DragoN. I figured this news was worth pulling out of the Tour for more visibility. Why? New Rogues don’t happen every day.
