Dear Guitar buddy,
Many congratulations on your AMP1
™
purchase!
AMP1
™
is an extraordinary amplifier, and its back story is just as unusual…
… I had a dream. This dream has come true,
and you’re holding it in your hand right now.
I’ve always dreamed of an amp that can fulfil all my professional requirements onstage and
in the studio, and that at the same time is so small and light I can always have it with me in
my gigbag. The powerful tones of guitarists like Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore
have inspired and influenced me. As a professional guitarist, sound designer and co-develop-
er of numerous guitar amps, I feel committed to continuing these powerful tonal traditions
that are naturally assertive and full of character. As well as my own trademark sounds, my
work requires me to have a wide tonal palette – from jazz to metal – and all in professional
quality. My dream was to put the immense power and character of vintage tube amplifiers
into one small package that would fit in your glove compartment or gigbag – without com-
promising on the tones. Sounds like Mission Impossible!
My dream amp should suit any guitarist, whether he or she plays country, blues or heavy
metal. It should also suit everyone from purists to full-on sound geeks, without weighing
them down with unnecessary features, but also leaving all the vital functions intact!
