Hey Guys,
Thanks for checking out Forza and Tuzzia and making NAMM a HUGE success for DAR Amps!
We've all just made it back home and are really pleased to see such a warm welcome to our new family member... FORZA.
I'm sure Paul will keep you guys updated with all things and can be reached at

We believe FORZA is a machine built beyond any level of tone/technology currently avalable in any tube amp. This machine is loosely based on our TUZZIA production amp but takes all aspects to the next level.
I dont want to get long winded here on specs, functions, etc... but suffice to say it has it all. Our MIDI system is state of the art and developed by our friend Mario from (former) Axess Electronics. The amp also features a built in intelligent DMX512 lighting controller and power supply capable of providing illumination power/control/sequencing for your entire stage lighting system. We did not fully demonstrate the features at NAMM, but will in forthcoming demo's and vid's. The amp also features every concieveable interface for professional touring/studio/recording environments including instrument loop (aka reamp), advanced effects loops control, studio outs, speaker sims, etc..... and all analog and of audiophile quality as well... You will never lose your tone in any loop or ever introduce any hum,hiss,etc...
This amp is a monster in every way.
-True triode output stage delivering 100 watts of real Class A Triode output.
If you continue to push the amp, it will rebias the tubes and deliver 170 watts of traditional Class AB power in Clean/Crunch runch mode
-The output stage powerplant incorporates a signal and power adaptive bias/tuning/load matching controller that always keeps the powerplant running at optimised performance.... like the fuel injection/variable valve timing system in your car.
-Under extreme metal environments, the powerplant can deliver output power equivilent to a 380+ watt tube amp.
Our amps love to be pushed hard...in fact the harder you drive them, the cooler the output tubes run. You need not be afraid of running these machines at wide open... they prefer it.
Tone wise, this machine is stellar in every way. It incorporates all the tone attributes of it's little brother, but takes them to the next level. Paul will discuss this in more detail, but suffice to say we are very pleased. I myself was even blow away and I'm the hardest one to please.
Forza incorporates state of the art cutting edge physics/engineerng/designs/materials to deliver it's level of performance. Thousands of hours of advanced design/engineering have been dedicated to the machines we offer. It is simply not just a different tube in a traditional design.
Again, if you have any questions, please contact

Initial orders are coming in for Forza and we will begin shipping soon.
Tuzzia's are in full production and avalable right away.
We place great effort on keeping costs under control and building quality American made Silicon Valley gear.
Best,
Mike G
