VTR 10
Described as having an M type bottom but V mids and top end along with a luscious compression that doesn’t hide the articulateness of your attack but adds bloom.
The VTR has a new feature of 'FULL 15 WATT setting'! Due to the unique power supply you can now choose between a Choke pi Filter or a resistor pi Filter. This controls the voltage applied to the overall amp and adjusts the power out. Originally as a 10 watt amp it now can produce 15 watts RMS for more headroom. And the output stage still runs in its same design - keeping the tone and character the same! The Half Power switch has been re-designed in a very unique way, producing half output of whichever the WATTS switch is set at. Example ; 15 WATT setting with Half Power equals 7.5 watts out. Obviously then 10 WATT setting with Half Power equals 5 watts out.
Add to all this a two setting GAIN Switch plus a FAT switch makes this one of the most versatile single channel amps made !!
For the guitarist that just wants to ROCK out - putting a 12AX7 tube in the driver/phase inverter stage puts this amp 'over the top'!
Model is true point to point wired.
Tailored for a sweet fat tone that works exceptionally well with single coil guitars as well.
* Please note - this amp is not designed for an FX Loop as it will take away from the purity of the amp *

KAGE
NOT your average low wattage amp !! Don't let the 2 / 8 watts deter you from thinking this can't be a Club amp! On the contrary, it can do home practice volume exceptionally well! The design originally came about to be a great sounding at home practice amp but with a full 'big' amp sound. After a few months of tweaking and designing for two separate Hi-Voltage rails it has turned into a great Club amp. Not going with the 'usual' push pull output stage, it is single ended EL84 Class A for the plentiful 2nd order harmonics that come with it. With oversize Transformers and a Choke coupled pi input filter it not only produces great dynamics but without any power supply hum. Add to that the Attenuator for speaker volume and those same dynamics are available at 'any' volume.
The end result produced an amp perfect for fly - in gigs, Club gigs, back up protection, recording, practice, etc.........

UK'78
This amp came about because of the great sound of the Canadian JCM800 model. It had a sweeter midrange with the 4/8 ohm output transformer. I worked hard to capture that flavour. The only additions are a DEPTH control, a 3 Position Bright Switch, and a Texture switch that adjusts the driver and preamp voltage. Being that the 1978 JMP had lower voltage, (as does mine), in order to capture the 800 character the preamp voltage needed to be raised, which is the Bold setting. Add to all this my exclusive FX Loop and you are ready to rock with one of the most iconic machines ever designed! Completely hand wired (unlike originals) adds more 3D quality.

XS III "CLASSIC"
This version brings our top amp back into the ultimate Classic tones. Not actually a clone of any amp out there, it does blend together Hiwatt(Tm), Marshall(Tm), and Fender(Tm) Tones and Characteristics. This ‘Classic’ version sports 2 channels, almost identical, except for different types of components on each. The Clean/Grind ch. having a Gain Sw. to allow you to play completely clean with it. When you cranked up an old non-master amp the Tone Controls didn’t have near as much range as a higher gained designed master volume amplifier. We’ve kept that, plus the flavour of the cranked distortion with a Different preamp than any of our other amps and a Master Volume on each channel to tame it for small clubs and home use. The beauty of this whole design is the lack of ‘fizzies’ usually associated with a lot of other amps. With the Presence control design we use you can tame an over lively room or bring the amps character ‘in your face’ when needed. An exclusive (designed in house) HiVoltage Fet Loop (w/bypass Sw) keeps the purity of the amp intact and supplies a strong buffered connection for your ‘time based’ units. The return has a variable Level control that gives just enough control to balance a problematic chain.

MORRIS MUSCLE '69/70
MM '69/70 is a take on our modded '69/70 Marshall tremolo head - and is single channel with SS FX Loop. It has two Input jacks - LOW is a stock Bright channel of a 4 input - with a Master - which when turned up basically takes it out of circuit making the amp equal to a normal 4 input perfect for cranking up into reactive load boxes .... to get full output stage distortion. The HIGH input adds another gain stage that together with the Master Volume lets you get all the way to California style crunch, at any level you desire for live playing.
The difference in this amp compared to my Perplex'd models - is -
1) The higher voltage applied to the output tubes and preamp, giving it a full 50 watts and different character. 2) The range the Bass and Depth controls can be pulled out for those players who never seem to get enough bass cut. You can still get the full fatness and thump of the Perplex'd series amps - just more 'cut' if desired.

PERPLEX'D S2
The Perplex’d S2 has 2 "completely" independent channels, to the point of different voltages applied to each to control the midrange and character of distortion.
The Clean/Crunch channel has a 2 pos. Gain switch plus 3 way Bright switch.
The Drive channel is designed to crunch/growl/sustain with clarity and rawness if desired because of the separate 'Attack' control designated to it. Shaped to produce harmonic overtones easier, with a pushed midrange. 3 way Bright switch make it very versatile.
