As a guitar player growing up in the 70's, Bill Landry had a deep appreciation for the electric guitar tones of the 70's into the 80's. As a working musician, he found himself in a never-ending search for the tones he loved from his favorite guitar players. After more than 25 years, he failed to find an amp that could produce all the various tones that he wanted. This led Bill, in 2002, to the conclusion that he would simply have to build it himself.

The first priority was a killer rock tone. But since there isn't just one killer rock tone, the distortion channel had to be capable of producing moderately saturated sounds (AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc.) as well as more heavily overdriven sounds (Van Halen, Ratt, etc.). Plus, it had to have a separate clean channel that's warm, articulate and punchy. It also had to have enough features to be versatile, like independent EQ's for each channel, a parallel effects loop, a great sounding reverb, and a master volume. And all this had to be laid out in a simple, easy-to-use format.

After six years of much trial and error, the LS100 was born. It is an all-tube, hand-wired, 100 watt amplifier designed for a working musician that needs versatility. The remarkable thing about this amp is that it produces genuine black face era cleans and with a click of the foot switch, produces Marshall-esque crunch. The LS100 is the amp Bill has always wanted. One year after it's introduction, this much-talked about amp seems to be the amp that many other guitar players have also always wanted.

The LS100 is a 100 watt all-tube guitar amplifier, hand-built in the USA. With two independent channels (clean and distortion), there is no sacrifice in tone as you change from one channel to the other; sounding as thick at bedroom volume as it does at stage volume...
