So this amp has been in development for some time. Airis released a preamp pedal that is based on a 5150 with some gain and tonestack tweaks.
Richard (owner) did a few small 1/2 rack prototypes and sold them while he was refining the design. They were all just plain metal housings with hand written labels.
He ended up trying a 2-up rack design which I fell in love with. He didn’t like how he had to do the graphics so he switched to 3-up 1/2 rack format as that works better for his printer/engraver.
He put the two full size racks up for sale and I grabbed one.
Holy shit balls! I only got like 20 minutes with it today just making sure Canada post didn’t take their hate for DJT out on it while shipping. Fucking thing is nuts!
300 watts, solid state, has a built in boost based on his HM808 drive pedal, effects loop and 2x 9v tapes for pedals.
I had to haul it and get on a train to Miami but tomorrow when I get back I’ll get to fuck with it more. There are a lot of interesting controls for the mods on preamp and the power section. Definitely glad I grabbed it.
