ABOUT the AMPS
Hello, thanks for visiting our site!
If you are looking for a really great sounding compact & portable amp for recording, practice & small gigs, this is the best one out there.
Why, because it's very carefully made by hand in the good old USA, of the finest parts and materials.
It is loosely based on an original 1947 Model 26 "woodie" amp, but with a twist! This one has a similar to the original, all-octal tube compliment, plus an optional tremolo circuit, hence the "T" in Model26t.com
Oh yeah, the transformers are made in Chicago, and the solid wood cabinet, too! NO Chinese parts are used.
Only one person painstakingly custom builds your amp, and is responsible for the superb quality & tone nobody else can offer.
A 5-year guarantee on parts & labor, and 90 days on tubes, assures confidence in our product.
We have been building these amps since 2007.
