At the same time, this session was also used as a real-world test for a new extended range string concept developed together with Ziko Strings for 7- and 8-string guitars.
The goal is to develop a dedicated string pack for Extended Range Guitars, focused on players who need stability, precision, clarity, and consistency even in lower tunings and more aggressive playing styles.
These strings deliver clean sound clarity, excellent tuning stability, strong note definition, balanced tension across the instrument, smooth playability, great durability, articulate low-end response, and reliable intonation even under heavy picking and technical playing.
The current 6-string sets are already available through Inspiria Guitars and have been receiving great feedback, especially in Scandinavia.
Excited to share this in-depth demo of the highly anticipated Tone X Editor and Tone X One Pedal!
In this video, I showcase the versatility and sonic capabilities of these new tools using my signature Inspiria DLP8 guitar.
Watch as I explore the Tone X Editor's intuitive interface and demonstrate how it seamlessly integrates with the Tone X One pedal to create everything from crystal clear tones to massive walls of sound. The Inspiria DLP8's unique pickup configuration and tonewoods perfectly complement the Tone X system's advanced features.

This is both a guitar and bass playthrough of a new song ("Elan Vital" is the title, available now on Bandcamp and soon as edit version on the main streaming services.) and demo of the brand new Inspiria HL-6, headless guitar and DLP4 Bass.
Make sure you check specs of those instruments on the official website.
After months on the road supporting The Revolution of Evolution, with shows across Asia, the US, and Europe, we are now closing the first part of the tour with a final date in Belgium at Six K Fest alongside amazing bands and musicians.
The response to the album has been absolutely overwhelming in the best possible way. Fans and critics embraced The Revolution of Evolution far beyond my expectations, and seeing all the support has been incredibly rewarding after all the hard work.
The video for Undercurrent also surpassed 50,000 views—an unexpected milestone for a niche artist like me while my Spotify numbers finally reached the level I always hoped for.
A huge thank you to the musicians who joined me on this tour: Laurent Bernadac, Yohan Delasalle, Cello Azul, Eric Nalin, and Alessandro Cacace.
Now, it's time to slow down a bit on live gigs and focus on writing the next chapter of my prog metal journey: album number seven in my solo discography.
On the Inspiria Guitars side, we continue to grow with updated guitar models, the LP4 2.0, a new five-string bass, and fresh string packs. Check them out at InspiriaGuitars.com.
I'll also release upgraded versions of SL8: a studio edition and a live edition from the Alexandrian Metal Assault in Italy last May.
Thank you all for your support. Stay tuned for more music, gear, and updates, and follow me on social media for regular content!
