Story of War Party

  • The War Party is a tribute to my Blackfeet (Amsskaapi Piikuni) heritage and to the fearless warriors, both past and present.

  • At a time, when tomorrow was never promised, it was essential for tribes to be well equipped and ready for battle. An effective war party would contain the tribe’s strongest and most disciplined warriors, providing safety to the tribe and its resources.

  • These warriors had the ability to rise against all challenges and would sacrifice their life for the protection of the tribe.

  • The War Party’s artwork is a symbol of the warrior mindset that is still achievable. We are all warriors, and we are equipped to overcome adversity, determined to improve ourselves each day. As a part of your own war party, you are called to live a life with a purpose much larger than yourself.

War Party

  • War Party

    The War Party is an amp-like overdrive/distortion with touch sensitive dynamic response that is inspired by the NativeAudio™ Kiaayo and the legendary ProCo™ RAT. The streamlined interface includes volume, gain, and tone controls for maximum versatility in any overdrive/distortion application. The War Party bridges the gap between overdrive and distortion with the unique filtering and asymmetrical clipping found in the Kiaayo along with the RAT’s low gain to high gain flexibility.
