Fredrik is also working as a guitar instructor at JamPlay.com; one of the biggest online lesson sites in the world.

Fredrik uses the Torpedo Hall of Fame as well as the Captor X in his studio: ”Using the Two Notes gear allows me to record cranked tube amps amps in the middle of the night without waking up the neighbourhood or compromise with the sound and tone quality. It makes recording so efficient and I have an endless arsenal of tones to choose from. What’s not to love?!
