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...gbsmusic":1yaus3n9 said: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!!![]()

I'm definitely enjoying sharing the progress! I'll keep you in mind for testing!rupe":1yaus3n9 said:Very cool...and even cooler that you're sharing the whole process! I'll be happy to be a "tester" when the time comes![]()
Thanks man! More cool stuff to come!Shiny_Surface":1yaus3n9 said:Congrats Steve, ever since hearing your handwired prototype clips I've been following the development.![]()
Cool! I'll give you a call to discuss as soon as I get this thing dialed in - no hurry man...Scumback Speakers":gxe6z5ot said:sah5150":gxe6z5ot said: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!
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...Jeff Hilligan":2hb1aydy said:I officially sport wood for the Henning amp! Great work and great commitment Steve. Now start taking orders!

Sorry, missed this one...joepete77":o1l68wna said: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?

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...steve_k":135ha0l8 said:rupe":135ha0l8 said:Where's the drama in that business modelsah5150":135ha0l8 said:Thanks man! No order taking though...

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.![]()
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....King Guitar":1kahtk9g said: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.

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![]()
