Looking for amp builders

Post by bronzetalon »

Thinking about getting a new guitar amp. Was planning on going Science again, any other builders I should look at? I'm thinking about getting a amp in the lower wattage range of things.

Relevant to my interest, although I'm pretty set on an ehx mig 50. I know it's more amp than I need for the foreseeable future...

Discontinued last year when he started the amp refresh. It was my dream amp and it is no more.

From my conversation with him a year ago, it was dead and not going to be a part of the refresh. Not enough people were ordering a lower watt amp.

Every once in a while, I'll listen to the demos he sent me in regret that I didn't order it then.

Benson. The Vinny is incredible at cleans and edge-of-breakup tones. I personally wasn't blown away by its drive in the 7-10 knob range, but this is ILF...you have awesome pedals, so who cares.
This course, a perpetual alternation of determining what is true, and then setting aside this determining, constitutes, strictly speaking, the steady everyday life and activity of perpetual consciousness, a consciousness which fancies itself to be moving in the realm of truth.

I was actually looking at the Vinny, too recently.

Others to consider: Satellite Gammatron , De Lisle Nickel Box, Gries 5
