Our Current Products:

All of our amps feature 3/4" furniture grade birch ply, high grade vinyl, Penn-Elcomm corners, feet and handles. We use industrial chrome plated, steel chassis and epoxy eyelet boards. All of the amps are hand wired using poly signal caps, up-rated resistors and sealed 2 watt pots.

Description

The Revival is designed for tones that range from Texas blues to classic rock. It has all the spankiness that 6L6 amps are known for but distorts easier, faster and more gradually that most.

Using only the volume control on your guitar, you can easily conjure up tones that suggest Bakersfield, Liverpool, Athens, Austin or Detroit. The best clean tones come from turning the amp up and turning your guitar down. As the volume goes up, so does the heat, giving your guitar a built-in overdrive control.

The Revival makes it easy to adjust the response for your touch. Most Revivals come equipped with 6L6GC's and a 5U4G rectifier. Others come with short bottle 6L6GGB's and a 5AR4/GZ34. By using different power tubes (6L6, 5881, KT66) and/or different rectifiers (5U4, GZ34, SS module) you can change the amount of headroom and the distortion tone of the amp. Of course, the preamp supports most popular 9 pin dual triodes (12AX7, 12AT7, 5751, 12AY7, 7025).

Now Shipping - Our New Hooligan 34W class A EL34 combo. Similar to the Revival, but with '34's and trimmed in British racing green. Classic rock tones in spades. Who says you can't get a hand-wired, all tube brit-style amp at a reasonable price. $1295

The Select shares almost all of the features of the Revival, but it is optimized for 6V6 power tubes. If spanky describes the Revival, silky is the keyword for the Select.

At 15 watts, the Select is best for intimate club performances and recording. The tone is smooth and rich when clean and a microcosm of stadium rock at full volume.

The Bad Betty is our own design, based on the famous blue and green British speakers of the early 60's. The Betty features a creamy, sweet top end and bold low end response. Named for a 50's pin up model that was known for both good girl and very naughty poses, this speaker certainly has a split personality. Clean, it sounds angelic, but this speaker loves to rock.

Notice in this comparison to a vintage blue-frame and a modern red-frame speaker, the Bad Betty is a few decibles less efficient.

This means you can run your amp louder, where it sounds better, but without getting too loud. Also notice that Betty's frequency response (dark trace) more closely matches that of the $300+ British speaker (red trace) than the modern speaker (thin trace), including all of the little 'bumpy' bits that mean richer, more complex tone. Betty's bass response is the best of the 3, more like the famous green speaker that is the gold standard for rock and roll guitar.

So, with our extension cabinet, you get a great Bad Betty speaker wrapped in an overtuned cabinet that matches our amps visually and aurally. We take the same high-grade plywood amp cabinet and use a full-height speaker baffle to produce the extension cabinet. It is stronger than it has to be, tuned like a Revival, and covered in matching vinyl. We do use a flat strap handle on the extension cabinet to allow our amps to stack on it properly.

Note, we also have a few never-mounted, NIB Bad Bettys for sale at $65 each.
