Tim Lessard

Tim joined the band in 2001, and has preformed guitar in every Aftermath show to date. He remains a key member in the production of material.

Tim is the creative mastermind, responsible for such Aftermath killers as "Afraid", "Just another Kill","King of Curses", "Living a lie" and "Leave me alone" just to name a few. Tim combines crafty showmanship with melodic high speed guitar playing to make himself an accomplished musician. He takes his role seriously and does so whenever practising, composing rhythm ideas or when working out an idea for a lead.

Tips/ideas for fellow musicians: "Always pretend like the guitar is a wind instrument, and by wind instrument it means to think like you need to breath inbetween notes, this way you will play consistent fluent ideas while maintaining good phrasing allowing the instrument to really speak to the audience and crowd."

The Ecstasy series heads were designed to breath like sweet old amps...all living in one box. The standard features of our Ecstasy 101 allow the "DNA" of the 3 distinctly voiced channels to be radically morphed into sounds of the past, present and future. The Ecstasy comes with either EL34 or 6L6 power tubes and by using our foot-switch, you can access 6 tuned variations of these channels instantly. Imagine going from our notorious barking Plexi mode, to the greasiest, harmonically chewy overdrive and then washing it all down with the lushest most decadent clean tone. The Ecstasy 101 comes standard with an amazing array of controls: 1/2 power switch, Old/New style switch, 3-way Excursion switches to control speaker cabinet dampening, two presence controls (one assignable), gain boost, Plexi-mode, Structure, Three Pre-EQ switches, Tube buffered series/parallel FX loop.
