| | ~ East Amplification ~ EAST Amplification is the newest offering from renowned, innovative amp designer Jeff Bober.
Circa the mid 1980’s, Jeff Bober began his career repairing and modifying tube guitar amplifiers for local, regional and national artists. Honing his craft in this very specialized field year after year under the company name of Precision Audio Tailoring, he had the opportunity to work with some very notable performers. “Probably my biggest thrill at that time was to be able to build some gear for Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was very happy with the amplifier and cabinets that I had designed and built for him, and wanted me to build another amplifier, but unfortunately his life was cut far too short.”
In the mid 90’s, he began producing a small combo amp for a Washington DC based company, which was called the Fenton Basic 110. That amp piqued the interest of his soon-to-be business partner, Scot Sier, and in 1995 a new company, Budda Amplification, was born. In a time when most companies were offering their models in the ubiquitous 50 and 100 watt ranges, Jeff’s initial offering with this new company was a little 18 watt fire breather known as the Twinmaster. Not designed to be a clone or copy of any other amplifier, this instrument had a voice and a feel all its own. The merits of this low powered amp would be questioned by many, but soon players worldwide would find virtue in being able to “open up” a lower powered amp, enabling the output tubes to become an integral part of the tone generating process. And so the low wattage amp revolution was born! Since that time, Jeff has been designing and producing some of the most respected amplifiers in the business under the name Budda Amplification.
 | Since his departure from Budda in late 2009, Jeff has launched his new company, EAST Amplification and is designing amplifiers that he considers to be the natural progression in product design from his previous brand. Different yet similar, these amps also have a voice of their own while retaining the same feel and touch sensitive response that made his previous designs so revered by all levels of players. His first offering, the Studio2, is a full featured, huge sounding, versatile 2 watt recording and small venue masterpiece, which is once again firmly cementing his position as “The Godfather of the low wattage amp revolution”.

East Amplification Studio2
This full featured (no simple volume and tone control here) 2 watt amp is a recording and small venue dream. Its tone, feel and volume are far bigger than the output power rating would have you believe. Being affectionately coined as having “Bober Watts”, this amp, as stated by many who have played it, “could cover most small gigs”. Having a full compliment of tone and level controls, the sound pallet of this amp is quite extensive. With the right pairing of guitar, the possibilities range from the relative clean of the British “H” amps (think Pete Townshend) to the liquid legato of your favorite players of the infamous “D” amps, to tones so aggressive they might be tugging on the shirttails of Metal!...

East Amplification Extension Cabinet
This 1x10 cabinet will surprise you. Having the nice crisp top end of a 10, without being brittle, this cabinet also has a very large warm bottom end. You’ll find it hard to believe that there is a single 10” speaker in this box. With a very even and full range response, this cabinet is also open and airy sounding thanks to its open back design. Additionally, its solid pine construction makes it lighter than most any other cabinet its size. A perfect compliment, both in size and sound, to the EAST Studio2 Head...
