So Fine. 15 watts Pure Class A Tone
Monster. This will be my next amp. Jazz or blues. For
a Harmony-Central
Review click the link. I played one again 4/13/00 in Ft.
Lauderdale. So Righteous.
Also comes as a 2/12 30 watt
stereo amp. |

Hey now.
I have played this remarkable amp at Sand Music in Houston. This amp will NOT produce a bad tone. It is a complete
Tone Monster.
I played
the Imperial, a
12" speaker, 20/40 watt amp - Class A mind you.
It just
kicked butt. Burned up the Kendrick Black Gold sitting right next to it, the Victoria next to
that. Un%^&$ Believable. About $1400. I can help you
get one oryou can call the man who makes these in Baltimore, MD. There is NO
website.

Kendrick Amplifiers
http://www.kendrick-amplifiers.com/
Killer Amps made by Tube Authority Gerald Weber (from Pt. Arthur!)
in Pflugerville, Texas. Billy Gibbons loves 'em. it's that
"brown sound".
The Black Gold Amp is a screamer.
Kendrick has also been commissioned to make the Climax Trainwreck
amp. A mere $5,000 for the stout of heart and deep of
pocket. I have played one of these onstage in Miami.
It is so sweet, but $5K? |

So Flo Tube Amps
Made right in Ft. Lauderdale, FL the SMART ALECK amp is receiving the
highest marks on Harmony-Central's
amp review section. All 10's. PURE Class A amp.
Not Limited Class A. Not Class A that slips into AB. Solid Class
A. about $1,600. Heads and Combos and Custom Orders.
Reverb, Tremelo. I am going to check it out ASAP.

Harmony
Central Review
Want to make your own amp killer, or make one from scratch? This guy has the
plans, kits
and parts for you to build a new amp.
All you need is a gutted
chassis (Fender is probably best). Visit the Photo Gallery, Layout
Diagrams,
Tech referral/service Schematics,
Transformer Diagrams, Yard Sale Items. He is also in Florida, on the
Gulf side in Sarasota. |

JJ Electronics Tubes. Very knowledgeable Bob
Pletka has
sets of tubes designed for YOUR amp. He has been to the factory in
Czeckoslovakia and knows the owners. One of them was one of Tesla's
research and development men for 35 years. It is the real deal.
I just ordered a set for my Peavy Classic 50-410. What a difference
they made!! My tone controls actually work!! Nice CREAMY
sounds. Tight Bottoms, Clear Highs, Distinguishable Mids, and on
higher volumes on NORMAL channels, the distortion is as close to a Class A
amp as I have heard. So, for a poor man's Class A, spend about $50 and
sweeten your sound.
