At Mars Amps

At Mars Amplification has a unique approach to building vacuum tube guitar amplifiers. They start with salvaged tube amps from old film projectors, gut them down to the sockets, and build variations on some classic amps inside the chassis. The result is a hand-wired, point-to-point, all tube, custom amp that uses all new internal components and 50 year old iron. Old stock tubes are tested and reused as well. The original face-plates and vintage name plates are incorporated to give the amp a unique authentic old school look. Custom cabinets in custom colors are constructed around each chassis to complete the conversion...

Friedman Amps

For many guitarists, the name Dave Friedman doesn’t have the cachet of, say, Eddie Van Halen or Jerry Cantrell. Yet without Friedman’s helping hand, Van Halen and Cantrell—as well as a host of other guitar heroes—wouldn’t sound as good as they do onstage or in the studio. Through his company, Rack Systems, Friedman has been building, modding, and repairing gear for some of the world’s biggest stars for the past 25 years...

Metropoulos Amplification

This is George Metropoulos' personal outlet for his obsessive nature regarding all aspects of vintage Marshall amps and their tone. The catalyst for this venture was the idea that he could leave his real plexis safely at home and take something to gigs equally great sounding but more easily replaceable if something were to happen. The only problem with this approach was that nothing lived up to the tone, vibe, feel or dynamics of the real plexis....

Morgan Amplification

Joe Morgan is an electrical engineer who started his career working on GPS satellites in the 80's at Rockwell International. An avid guitar player and musician, Joe's love for guitar amplifiers led him on a 10 year quest to discover all the subtle differences in guitar amplifier design and just how these differences effect tone. In this process he realized that the amps he gravitated to had one common element. They all were very touch sensitive and dynamic amplifiers that were as much a part of the player as the guitar is...

Tungsten Amps

Chasing tone is in Adam Palow's blood. As a child, he looked for sound and music in nearly everything around him. In his late teens, he stumbled upon a vintage 5 watt, Class A tube amplifier, and it changed his life. He was immediately drawn to the warmth and breakup of that single 6V6 pumping through a miniscule 8" Alnico speaker. That sparked a lifelong obsession and pursuit of good tones, a thirst which has yet to be quenched...
