Our Vision

To design and produce the best sounding, most practical, "vintage tone" guitar amplifiers in the world.

Our Mission

We intend to expand our business designing and selling premium quality guitar amplifiers These will target "Old School" guitarists who use their guitar volume and tone controls as the principal method of changing their sound. The amplifiers will incorporate unique technological features that provide a great tone base and allow simple adjustment of "Gain", "EQ" and "Loudness".

Our Opportunity

The market for guitar amplifiers is supplied by many manufacturers but none (or very few) can match the "classic" tone of the pioneering amplifiers produced in the early 1960's. A great deal of mystique has built up around these amplifiers and the recordings made with them during that period. Although some musicians are very happy with the sound and complexity of "modern" guitar amplifiers many others long for the sound quality and simplicity of the older designs. The only products available which truly provide this vintage character are not practical for the vast majority of musicians because they are too large, too heavy, and too loud.

We have the technology to produce simple amplifiers with a simulated vintage valve tone. We call this Virtual Valve Technology. These can operate at any volume without loss of tonal character and are small enough and light in weight so as to be easily portable. They do not need to use valves because they generate sounds in a new way - by analogue simulation of the complex interactions between power valves, output transformers and speakers.

Our First Product

Our first product is a small self contained valve simulating combo amp designed to sound like a 50W EL34 or KT66 amplifier as driven into a 4 X G12 cabinet. Two of the most desirable classic amplifier set-ups ever! A front panel switch selects which of the two sounds is generated. The amplifier has all the sonic benefits and simplicity of the original valve amplifiers delivered in a stylish but smaller and lighter enclosure. The appearance is striking but smart and the power rating is a loud 30W. A master volume control is of course incorporated along with a professional quality pre emphasised (speaker simulating) line level DI output and Headphone output. As an additional feature the amplifier incorporates a "hot rod" switch which increases the mid range gain by 12dB for increased drive during solo guitar passages.
