DRGN 100 Custom Shop
The complete realization of the Dragon platform.
Built for players who want the deepest level of control, the broadest tonal range, and the full authority of the platform at its highest level.
Developed through collaboration between Joe Satriani and 3rd Power founder Dylana Nova Scott, DRGN 100 Custom Shop is not a tribute to the past. It is a complete performance instrument shaped by the British gain tradition and built to go beyond it.
DRGN 100 Custom Shop is the most complete realization of the Dragon platform.
It is where the full architecture opens up: more control over response, more range in how the amp can be shaped, and more access to the deeper personality of the design. Not as complexity for its own sake, but as musical control in the hands of the player.
Where Phantom models deliver the core voice of Dragon with key decisions already resolved, DRGN 100 Custom Shop gives you the full conversation.
This is the version for players who want to shape feel as much as sound.
Dragon begins with the late-’60s British amplifier language: commanding mids, explosive harmonic texture, fast attack, and the unmistakable sensation of an amp pushing back against the player in all the right ways.
But DRGN 100 Custom Shop was never conceived as a period piece or a clone narrative. The goal was not to recreate an era. The goal was to pursue the authority, feel, and dimensional complexity required at the highest level of performance.
That pursuit led to a deeper collaboration between Joe Satriani and Dylana Nova Scott — refining not only the voice of the amplifier, but the way it responds under the hands, tracks dynamic changes, and holds together at stage volume.
The result is an amplifier built from lineage, but not limited by it.
The difference in DRGN 100 Custom Shop is not just what it can do. It is how deeply the player can shape the way it responds.
Attack can feel faster or more elastic.
The front edge of the note can hit harder or bloom with more give.
Gain can move from articulate authority to saturated harmonic force without losing the identity of the amp underneath.
This is where Dragon opens up.
Not as an exercise in options, but as a more direct relationship between player and amplifier — where touch, phrasing, and dynamic intent are met with more range, more control, and more dimensional response.
For the player who hears and feels those differences, DRGN 100 Custom Shop does not simply offer more. It offers deeper access.
Phantom models deliver the essential voice of Dragon with key choices already resolved into a powerful, immediate playing experience.
DRGN 100 Custom Shop is different by design.
This is the version for players who want access to the full architecture — the deeper level where response can be shaped more precisely, feel can be refined more personally, and the amplifier reveals a wider range of its voice without losing coherence or authority.
That is what Custom Shop means here.
Not ornament.
Not excess.
Not complexity for its own sake.
It means more complete access to the design itself — for the player who wants to go further into the instrument, not just through it.
Great amplifier design is not proven in isolation. It is proven in the moment when the volume comes up, the band gets louder, and the part still has to land with authority, clarity, and feel.
DRGN 100 Custom Shop was built for that reality.
It is designed to stay musically intact under pressure — to keep its voice, preserve its dimensionality, and remain responsive when lesser designs begin to flatten out, harden up, or disappear in the mix.
This is not just about volume.
It is about composure.
The ability to deliver harmonic complexity, front-edge definition, and real physical authority in the conditions that actually test an amplifier.
