Just wanted to say that me and nick talked on the phone last night for over an hour about my amp order, and what an amazing guy. He knows his shit, is customer goal oriented, and is great at explaining all the little custom things on the amps that make all the difference. Major impressed factor right now! I can't wait till march, for his most powerful build yet

200 watts of 4xkt88 power, single super clean channel, non master volume, built to be pushed by pedals, all while retaining enough low end to support fundamentals of 30hz.

It's wonderful to see a custom builder willing to build what the customer wants not just trying to push small batch production models that they build. Anyone considering buying one of these, pull the trigger and talk to nick he will def take care of you!

Yep, Nick's top notch! I've also spent many an hour on the phone gathering electronic knowledge as it pertains to amplification and my particular build. Dude was straight droppin' the education and super patient in explaining in depth details, options, and the plethora of possibilities. Now I'm interested in a few different amps he's concocting, particularly his upcoming proto! Gonna start with a Metro and go from there.
Lucky me, think my KT88 Metro build is coming up next, FUCK YEAH!
@Bassboar- whatever ideas you have, he'll incorporate that shit into a BADASS custom design. I've rarely dealt with any custom amp builder so willing to design and build entire concept amps for the prices Nick quotes, seriously unreal!

They are a kool amp but they got discontinued quickly due to instability. Running 800Vs caused arcing problems on the sockets

They are cool amps i just believe that you can build a much better sounding, more versatile amp with an equivalent amount of power. That and I strongly dislike marshall's, i have honestly never played through a single one i ever liked, but thats just me and my opinion.
