please! watch the YouTube video to make sure you like the tone of this amp – every one I create is a unique recipe.
Don’t just grab this amp because they are hard to get! i’d rather pair the right amp with the right player!
the famous 70’s and 80’s custom unicorn circuit, with expanded range and capabilities. note response is fast and can sustain held notes like a boss’ boss..
increased presence range – high gain capable – crisp articulate british metal panel/plexi style crunch and sparkle – footswitchable boost – contour knob for high gain channel gives wider range of midrange expression – class A/AB mode (hi/lo power mode switch)
Important note: this is not a copy or a clone that has been beaten to death, there are almost infinite ways to flavor a dish, and this is my take on what you hear on demos and recordings. I’ve played through ‘the real thing’.. several actually, and thats where this amp is coming from..
“History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends.”

this amp responds differently to different guitar/pickup combinations. your speaker type/configuration matter to the sound. experiment, go further and find your own voice with this amp. this is crucial to me.

Why you want this amp:
-you play a wide variety of ROCK/Blues/Jazz/Fusion/Prog guitar and need something that covers the bases. patches and presets don’t do it for you
-you are passionate about tone. we tune every amp we make, by hand, for maximum sonic improvements.
-because we are a small manufacturer, we put the cost of the amp directly into the parts that make great sound, not sponsoring race cars, sales “spiffs” or other frippery.
-I played guitar professionally for almost 2 decades, and built and played most every guitar or bass amp circuit out there. i’ve experienced first hand what sounds great and what doesn’t. that knowledge and ‘ears’ go into the design and refinement of everything we make.
so, go with Omakase… or in other words “Trust the Chef”…
those amps you see on stage and in the studio with your fave band performing? they didn’t just get that from their local guitar store. a tech “massaged” their amp. quite frequently, if you peeked under the hood whats printed on the front of the amp has nothing to do with whats going on inside!
we give you this “secret power” with all of our amps.
link:the manual for this amp is available online here:
Fettled (sm) over the course of several days. (from the old english word for ‘gird for battle’) our exclusive sonic tuning & improvement process that tunes each amp for maximum response and performance.
Triple Tested Tubes (sm) we only use tubes that have been tested by 3 different companies: the tube factory (which screens out up to 90{d4bedfb142f39760bcc99bdc493ac665ae9906ad68bf0ab08734e20c4fe243fc} failure rate) a trusted USA tube vendor (which can screen out up to 90{d4bedfb142f39760bcc99bdc493ac665ae9906ad68bf0ab08734e20c4fe243fc} of the tubes from the factory), and our own testing process that ‘blueprints’ the tubes used in your amp. yes, we hand match and select power and preamp tubes that I choose for their sonic qualities.
Custom midrange contour control for this amp opens up even more sonic possibilities for the high gain channel.
squash it, bloom it, fill the room or cut thru a mix..
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you are overseas, please allow several days to rewire the input power for the amp to 240v and retest/rebias the amp for trouble-free operation.
your amp will come with a speaker cable and power cord for your country (if we have it in stock)
