There are tried and true traditional amps: Marshall, Fender, Mesa Boogie, Peavey, Vox, Orange – etc. And we carry lots of those. We love them! You love them!
But – there are smaller manufacturers out there that make very special amps for various applications. Usually, they are a cut above in construction, tone, reliability, etc. – because they are often made one at a time to exacting quality control. The term ‘Boutique’ has been the go term for these wonderful beasts for quite some time now. And yes – we got you covered!
If you are looking for the perfect one trick pony, or a versatile multi-trick horse – there are many options to choose from. And, often these are hand-wired works of art. Sturdy, reliable art. With tone to die for!
Most in this class of amplifier are the tried-and-true tube variety – and for good reason. It’s where most serious players feel the tone and touch resides. We aren’t knocking solid state or modeling – we’re just stating that for the ultimate expression, most would still argue the glass bottle is still where it’s at.
Brands like:
Dr. Z
Carr
Bogner
Friedman
K-Line
Divided By 13
Magnatone
Swart
Jackson Ampworks
Aguilar
Demeter
This is just a small list – and usually we have many of these represented in our shop – plus many more…
Tone, power, touch, aesthetic, sensitivity, versatility, reliability, high value retention – these are all typical trademarks of hand-built boutique brands.
So go through our amp selections online – sort them from Price: High to Low – as these are the cream of the crop. Or stop by and experience them in person. You just may get ‘boutiqued’ and walk out with your prime sound box.
