We are about tone and reliability. We hand-craft a full range of amplification products that give you both technology innovation and classic Blackface and British tones. No clone or off-shore, we innovate to give you new features and tones combined with ultra-reliable performance.

The Parallel Gain Architecture delivers uncompromising Blackface clean and British gain tones and the unique blending of these iconic sounds to your exact tastes. You can mix clean and high-gain signal paths and have the unique ability to vary both volume and depth between them. You can drive clean tones with high-gain in the background or drive distorted tones complemented by clean path spank and punch. A wonderful range of classic and new tones to your desire.

Power Scaling allows you to produce cranked amplifier tones at much lower volumes. Output power is infinitely variable from 2 watts up to full power while maintaining the tone and character of the pre-amp. Enjoy compressed or distorted amplifier tones at the appropriate volume for any situation... even bedroom levels!

You deserve the best of vintage and boutique. You deserve innovation that differentiates your tone, your sound, your passion. Contact me today and we will build one for you.
