Amps

We only sell amps locally. Period. Don't even ask. We won't ship them.

If you're looking to purchase an amp online we recommend zZounds.

All amps are available for demo and feature our standard Return Policy.

Nearby? Come try one out. Just make an appointment.

We carry a small amplifier stock and are especially fond of several manufacturers.

We do not take the time to carefully photograph our amps since all customers must buy them in person. You can look them over all you like. All are in good working order. You are welcome to call in advance with any questions.

Tech 21's for sale:

We don't carry Tech 21's because we think they are the best amp ever made. Its because we think they have the best bang for the buck. They are light and small and fit well in our shop. Their solid state technology is very good at modeling tube-like tone. Also, Les Paul himself uses a Tech 21 which speaks to their quality.

Each of the Tech 21's listed below is in near mint condition.

  • TM60 (12" Tech 21 speaker) - $375 (On Hold)
    Industry garble: Built into the Trademark 60, is Tech 21's highly-acclaimed SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation circuitry, which encompasses all aspects of multiply-miked tube amp rigs. By incorporating this proprietary technology with a Tech21 special design 12 in. speaker, the Trademark 60 sounds as big and smooth as a vintage 4x12 cabinet. For studio and live applications, the SansAmp circuitry also enables the Trademark 60 to be run direct to the mixer of a recorder or PA system.

  • TM60 (12" Celestion speaker) - $449 (Sold)
    Industry garble: From vintage to modern, Tech 21's Trademark 60 offers the industry's most desirable tube amp sounds, and provides the flexibility to create your own signature sounds as well. This 60-watt combo guitar amplifier has 2 channels. The Boost function expands the capability of the 2 channels by increasing each of their output levels up to 9dB, providing 4 footstwitchable sound options.

Ashdown's for sale:

Ashdown is a British manufacturer of instrument amplifiers, particularly for bass. Their solid state technology is (as Moon Unit might say) tubular. Lately they have started manufactring some models in China. Sigh. The Chinese models are, naturally, cheaper and inferior.

  • Ashown EVO 500 Bass Head - $599 (On Hold)
    500 Watts. EVO is an evolution of ABM technology. The ABM Preamp satisfies both tech-heads and purists, with the three straightforward rotary tone controls supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. An input mix control provides a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamp stages, with inputs for active and Passive basses.

  • Ashown ABM 300 Bass Head - $549 (Sold)
    300 Watts. ABM Preamp satisfies both tech-heads and purists, with the three straightforward rotary tone controls supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. An input mix control provides a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamp stages, with inputs for active and Passive basses.

Bag End's for sale:

Bag End manufactures Loudspeakers in Barrington, Illinois. Although their products are quite varied, we are especially fond of their Bass Cabinets.

  • Bag End S-15D - $299 (Sold)
    Speaker: 1x15, Impedance: 8 Ohms, Frequency Response: 50-4kHz, Parallel Input Connectors: 1/4" and Banana, Dimensions: HxWxD (in inches) 18.5 x 18.5 x 15.5, Net Weight (in pounds) 44. Brown carpet. Sweet handles.

    This baby is light but it fills up the room like a champ.

  • Bag End S-15B-C - $375
    Speaker: 1x15, Impedance: 8 Ohms, Frequency Response : 40-4kHz, Parallel Input Connectors 1/4" and Banana Dimensions, HxWxD (in inches) 18.5 x 28.5 x 24.5, Net Weight (in pounds) 70

    Another 1x15 but this is in a huge cabinet that absolutely thunders. This model has evolved into the S-15B-D (the specs are identical). Black carpet. Sweet handles.
