CENTAUR ACOUSTIC AMPS. I've been buying & selling these totally hand made in America amps for about 15 years now. Bob Spurlock at Centaur is the guy who answers the phone & emails & he's also the guy who builds the amps one at a time. A truly "boutique" amp without the ridiculous price tag. Priced about the same as mass produced amps, they are offered in 60 or 125 watts, with 10", 12", or 15" speakers, with 3 channels (2 channels can take either XLR or 1/4" inputs) & spring reverb. Street price is from $550.00-$750.00

Tech 21 amps. American made & great sounding workhorse amps that really deliver the goods. From the diminutive Trademark 30 up to 4X12 stacks. If we don't have, we'll get it for you at a great price.  

Trademark 30. 1X10" 30 watt. This is the perfect amp for around the house but potent enough to gig with. Killer tone at any volume. These solid state analog wonders will out perform many of the boutique, hand made tube amps. Made in the USA, Tech 21 amps must be played to be appreciated.  So come in & play one.

Check out the new Tech 21 EXPRESSION PEDALS. Doesn't sound at all like digital modeling devices; sounds like the real thing. Plug your guitar in the pedal, plug the pedal in your amp or PA & dialing in a classic amp tone is a simple task that doesn't require reading an encyclopedia or masters degree.

Ampeg J-20 Jet Guitar Combo
Jet Tube Amplifier, 20W RMS, single 12" alnico speaker
 
NO – COMPROMISE ALL – TUBE COMBO
Leave it to the tone-obsessed engineering staff at Ampeg to come up with the no-compromise, 20-watt, all-tube, point-to-point wired J-20 combo. Part of the Diamond Blue Lead Series, the J-20 Jet's retro-styling is highly evocative of the '60s in attitude, as well as tone.
 
[J20 Boasts Three Tubes] J-20's preamp section boasts not one, but three 12AX7 tubes, and its dual 6V6 output stage operates in fixed-biased mode. The end-result of all this "inner tubing" is a guitar combo with controllable vintage "crunch" along with Ampeg's hallmark ease-of-operation. The simple Volume/Tone control setup makes it easy to quickly dial in just the right amount of edge for personal bliss.
 
[J-20 Point-To-Point Wiring ] With its point-to-point wiring, 5AR4 rectifier tube, 12" alnico speaker, and foot-switchable, bias-vary tremolo circuitry, the Ampeg J-20 is a no-compromise guitar combo ideal for even the most tone-obsessed guitarist.
