Chris Donohue
Session Musician
"The Mondial's retro-cool look is
obvious, but what makes it most impressive is how its
punch and swampiness are perfectly in balance. The more
you dig into it, the more it throbs. I've also found some
chiming, baritone-type tones lurking near the bridge that
go very well with a tremolo. It's an incredibly useful
instrument both live and in the studio that I always keep
very close at hand!" – Chris
