Cool Amp Company!

I was surfing the web the other day and ran across this amplifier company. We just happen to share a common name but have no affiliation. They are called Alpha & Omega Amplifiers. I really like to find and share other small company's that are making high quality products for the wonderful world of guitars. They make three amps. All tube and all based on classic proven vintage amp circuits. I'm planing on ordering one soon. I really like the one based on the Fender Bassman 4x10. Its more expensive than a Fender but I'll take small company hand made any day over large factory produced. Don't get me wrong, I do like Fender amps and their Blues DeVille is one of my favorites but I just like supporting small specialty company's. I have yet to hear one but I hope to soon.
Here are some pics and Stats:

The David:


  • 30 watts output power
  • one Alnico 12" and one Alnico 10" speakers
  • all tube design, point-to-point wired
  • 2 x 6L6 output, near Class A
  • 5AR4 tube rectifier, 12AX7 preamp tubes
  • single channel, Normal and High Gain inputs
  • volume, treble, mid, bass, reverb controls
  • true spring reverb
  • birch plywood cabinet with covering
  • 22" x 20" x 10"
  • 40 lb











Here is a quote from their website:
"At A&O, we make our own cabinets constructed with 1/4" finger joints for strength. They are then covered with durable woven materials that look good and travel well. The speaker baffles are cut from sturdy birch-plywood instead of particle board (which has a tendency to crumble with use). We finish them off with attractive leather handles and an extra long power cable for convenience. After final assemly, each amp is tested, biased, and burned in. You Alpha & Omega is ready to go...right from the get-go."
