— Dragon Platform —
DRGN
British authority. Modern control.
Born from the feel, force, and harmonic authority of the great British amps, DRGN is 3rd Power’s modern performance platform for players who want more than a replica.
The British voice, redefined.
DRGN is 3rd Power’s expression of the great British gain tradition: authority in the mids, explosive harmonic texture, fast attack, and the kind of feel that makes a great amp play like part of the instrument.
Rooted in the spirit of the legendary late-’60s British amplifiers that defined an era, and developed through collaboration between Joe Satriani and 3rd Power founder Dylana Nova Scott, Dragon was shaped not as a recreation of the past, but as a modern performance platform built around feel, response, and control.
This is not a nostalgia piece. It is not a museum recreation. It is an instrument — built to deliver authority, dimensional overdrive, modern reliability, and the kind of fader-up magic that holds up in the real world.
Classic at the core. Modern by design.
— Platform Concept —
One voice. Three ways in.
Dragon is not three unrelated amplifiers.
It is one platform expressed through three distinct models: DRGN 100 Custom Shop, Phantom DRGN 100, and Phantom DRGN 45.
Every version of Dragon is rooted in the same core DNA: British authority, dimensional overdrive, fast response, and a playing experience that feels immediate and alive.

— Real-World Performance —
Built for the moment when tone has to deliver.
Dragon began with a clear tonal target: the authority, impact, and harmonic fire of the legendary British amplifiers that fueled one of rock’s most iconic guitar eras.
Built for Joe Satriani’s real-world performance demands, the platform proved to be far more than a moment-specific solution — earning its place as a powerful, expressive part of his evolving performance world.
What began as a pursuit of a specific feel became a complete modern performance platform: powerful, versatile, reliable, and alive under the hands.
From iconic inspiration to modern performance authority.
Enter the platform.
Three expressions. One unmistakable voice. Choose your Dragon — and step into the British side of 3rd Power.
