Hey Guys,
I'm extremely excited to finally reveal what I've been working on for over a year. Due to everything going on in the world, it took way longer than it should have, with some parts not being available...
This all began with developing a custom circuit for Siggi Schwarz in a 1970 Super PA that I owned at the time. He was so in love with the amp that he bought it from me to record his new album. Right the next day, he asked if I'd be interested in starting an amp company. Of course, I immediately said yes and we got to work. We then talked to Michael Kast, who'd become the 3rd founder of the company. He worked for big names in the industry back in the day and was very eager to get back into it.
Over the last year, I made many different changes to the circuit that first came to life in the 1970 Super PA. I also added some voicing switches that would make the amp more versatile, so it could be dialed in to sound great with any guitar or speaker.
The Hot Chili can be described as a straightforward single-channel rock amp, that offers a wide range of sounds from slightly broken-up blues to 80s metal and everything in between. The overall voicing of the amp is definitely more vintage with a British touch from the classic EL34 power amp.
Here's how it sounds with a Celestion G12m-65 Creamback miced with an SM57 and an MD421 U4 in a 2x12 cab.
