The Maelstrom.
There are key marketing words on the meaning of this and the good news is that they are somewhat connected to the product:
A
maelstrom (
/ˈmeɪlstrɒm/ or
/ˈmeɪlstrəm/) is a very powerful
whirlpool; a large, swirling body of water. A
free vortex, it has considerable
downdraft.
It is (to me) the equivalent of a volcano but on the sea.
And it's perfect for 2 reasons:
I see that the product reminds to people sea and water stuff .
Other products on the lineup are named like volcanos but this time we need something similar but water related.
There are a lot of great names but i think we need something that inspires THE POWER.
Stars, peaceful places, beautiful landscapes IMHO are not for this.
Because this is an amp, and we need to search to something topology/nature/geography related,
we need to find a name that suggests the power that this thing is going to unleash.
think about the beautiful elongated body
Think about the shape, the BIG volume control rotates along with the blue leds. (And the maelstrom rotates)
**It is indeed geography related because there are permanent ones: corryvreckan et al.**
Unleash the power of the MAELSTROM!
Come on folks the more i think about it the more i like it:
"The power on the maelstrom is generated by the water that spins around, and the power of the amp is generated if you spin the big volume knob"
I love it
