Love it!! I can't wait to hear this!!

2012 is going to be a huge year for everyone!

Thanks and definitely gonna be some cool stuff happenin' in '12, bro!

Very cool Steve. Cant wait to see it done and hear some clips!! I hope we are looking at the next killer amp the begining of the next big amp company!!

This is really more of a labor of love, man - I'm gonna keep the production small. Not looking to be big - just high quality for the people who want it...

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looking great

Nice Steve! Congrats

Congrats to getting to this stage Steve, your dedication to this project is to be commended

2012 is going to be an exciting year from the looks of things around here!

Gettin' close now, man and yeah, I agree! Mike's news and my stuff comin' and more and more cool amp guys showing up with product every day here!

Looks awesome, man! Got a few mini toggles there!

HA! The more tonal options for you, my friend!

badass.

Very cool...and even cooler that you're sharing the whole process! I'll be happy to be a "tester" when the time comes

I'm definitely enjoying sharing the progress! I'll keep you in mind for testing!

Congrats Steve, ever since hearing your handwired prototype clips I've been following the development.

Thanks man! More cool stuff to come!

Sounds good, man! I'll definitely be coming by to figure out which speakers I'm gonna use... BTW - Scott emailed me and said he is not taking any new cab clients and that he may be shutting down the business entirely. I'm bummed...

Steve

Might be able to work something out for you on that, just depends on time/etc. I've been keeping him busy packing/shipping/building and reconing...which...ahem...is all of my client's fault. Sorry.

Prefer to discuss this on the phone or email...you've got all those, so get in touch with me.

And now I have to ship out 8 speakers, and get a taxi to the Metro Rail to meet my wife for dinner, then the Mark & Brian Xmas show with a whole buttload of bands/players. Should be fun!

Cool! I'll give you a call to discuss as soon as I get this thing dialed in - no hurry man...

Thanks man! No order taking though... I'm just gonna build runs on my dime and sell 'em when I have 'em! You buy one and it ships the day you buy it...

Where's the drama in that business model

I like what I see so far, Would be cool for you to put some clips or a vid showing the different tones available etc once you have it finished. WHat is the ballpark price you will ask for these and is each unit built to order?

Sorry, missed this one...

I already have a clip on my music page (in sig) that shows the modes of the hand wired turret board prototype amp if you want to hear that, but yeah, lots of clips coming when this one is complete...

Pricing... Thanks man! Honestly, I'm almost afraid to say it based on the reactions I've seen to boutique, hand built amp prices, but bottom line is it will be more than $3K with the foot switch and custom cable. Somewhere between $3200-3500, but I haven't set an exact price yet. There is a ton that goes into these (a lot of top notch expensive parts) and I know people will beat me up over this, but I know what these cost me and trust me, there isn't the profit margin that a lot of people here think there is at that price...

I will accept my beating now...

What you can't sell these amps for $999? Whats wrong with you.

Just kidding, boy do I know what goes into putting out an amp like this. Looks Cool, can't wait to try it.

What? This business model does not compute and it is so un-----something......

That's great that you aren't using OPM to finance your business. Big props for that dude.

I just want to make it clear that I'm not bagging on anyone else's business model here - I have massive respect for anyone trying to do this because it ain't easy. For me it is more that I want to keep production low, I want to work when I want to work and I don't want to be fielding constant phone calls from folks (justifiably) wanting to know where their amps are, selling their "places in line", etc., etc., etc... That is stress that I can do without... As I said, I'm not trying to make a ton of money, I just want to bring the amp I always wanted to market, have fun doing it, and get the pleasure of seeing other tone freaks use it and dig it... That is what it is all about to me...

Really! - it is crazy what some folks think hand built, high quality amps should sell for. I wish it were possible, but you and I both know it isn't....

Next time you are out here, I'll have a production prototype for you to check out, Brad. I'll bring it out to Tone Merchants when you are around...

What? You mean you're not willing to design an amp, source the parts, and build it by hand for free????......Pffffttt...1%er

I like the business plan, price point is more than justified imo.

 

[Greazygeo]

Looks good Steve. Your amp at the Lugo shootout thing sounded very good. As long as it has that sound, I'm sure it will be well received.
