Yes, I will build your amp kit for you.

Happy belated Independence Day!

Vox AC50. The rumors of these amps having incorrect wiring for the tone stacks have been true in my experience.

This Gibson GA6 got a new power transformer! It sings

This Kay 703 “widow maker” was rebuilt into this wonky orange cabinet at some point in its life.

The JUDGE GD20

Amazing clean and dirty. British style master volume made with premium components, made by hand in Somerville, MA USA and sold at an honest price.

Head or combo 12" UK made Greenback heavy magnet

Featured owners @dwsagan of @ratboysband @gentle.matt.j of @tnn_boston @kungpowrecording

Great start to the day. I love Matchless.

@gasleaker asks, “Would you still love me if I was tuck-and-roll?” Kustom B200

Based on the Krinard/Dumble Ultraphonix Bandmaster that was in a few months ago, I made my own out of this Concert. It's more of a rebuild than a mod with new transformers. The gain stages and types are the same but pretty much every component value is different. It does have a sort of compressed out of phase sound thats cool. It also has way less gain and isn't super loud, but loud enough. It isn't super bright like a lot of Dumble circuits.

This one is for sale with my custom cabinet!

Install a good speaker, clean up the controls and you get a great punk amp or rehearsal space beater.

Baby jazz chorus might be just as good but more manageable?

Is the Quad Reverb the largest Fender combo?

New fireball tolex on this ENGL Fireball

Blonde boogie. I feel like every Mesa from this era that I’ve seen was built a little differently.

The JUDGE S100B demonstration by @eastyofficial 100 watts of rich harmonic tones. Great for 6 string, bass, or baritone. The EF86 tube is the secret to the complexity of this original circuit.

New to me Marshall cab I picked up from @lennylashley I did some mods: speaker swap and stereo/multi impedance plate. This is available as a rental. It’s giant, sounds very rock and roll, and is in a flight case.

The new JUDGE TB15 combo. Demonstration by @eastyofficial

Stay tuned for more videos with Sam performing at the Judge Amps workshop

JUDGE KILOR - new batch is ready at www.judgeamps.com

The 5150 makes the most musical sounding mush. I like it.

Coming soon… a true gen 1 clone with modern premium components.

Another reissue gutted and hand wired with a speaker upgrade. I really think these mods are significant and make this a pro quality amp with tons more detail and pleasing harmonics.

There’s just something about McIntosh mono blocks that I love.

‘73 Deluxe Reverb with a Utah speaker. Been to hell and back but sounding great now. This one is for sale at a players grade price.

Whether it’s a motorcycle, piano, snow blower, or bass amp, you can count on Yamaha.

Fender Bandmaster with the Dumble Ultraphonix mod done by Bill Krinard of Two Rock for @hanselchen0216

1962 Fender Deluxe looking and sounding great. This one is for sale on behalf of the owner.

Ultra rare Thor amp made by the son of Jim Marshall of Marshall amps. This one has a failed output transformer unfortunately. It’s pretty much an awkwardly laid out clone of Super Lead.

JUDGE Driver into a JUDGE GD20
Let's get the pit going.

Been a while since I installed an iso transformer on a widow maker. Silvertone Model 1430

Hiwatt Lead 30 in for repair. Ziggy is less excited than I am.

4 Sale 1964 Fender Concert head conversion. New Mercury Magnetics Power transformer and bigger twin reverb output transformer.

Who is familiar with the Fender Fuzz/Wah/Volume pedal? I wasn’t until this was dropped off. I like the fuzz and the shifty volume adjustment

JUDGE Kilor and Driver available @musicgoroundboston and @mattsmusiccenter

4 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissues have been dropped off for repair in the past week. Do you own one? Used to? Want one?

JUDGE BL15R available @musicgoroundboston

Our take on the famous AA764 circuit with a more aggressive/punchier speaker, richer sounding tremolo, quieter reverb, and more harmonic detail.
