SPD100 - Sammy Duet signature 100W amplifier *PREORDER DEPOSIT*
PRICE ABOVE REFLECTS 50% OF FULL PRICE ($3,595) AND SERVES AS PREORDER DEPOSIT
The SPD100 guitar amplifier is the result of approximately 4 years of designing, prototyping, testing, touring and refinement. The continued collaboration with Sammy Duet (Goatwhore, Acid Bath) represents a milestone in purpose-designed heavy guitar amplification.
It is a single-channel amplifier for both simplicity and proof of confidence in its performance. While simple in interface, the SPD100 is uniquely flexible in tone and feel across tones and genres.
It utilizes 4x12AX7, 4xKT77, and a meticulously voiced set of controls to not only help Sammy achieve his tones, but also those of players like myself and even perhaps you.
The effects loop is also a new design, and is made to be foolproof, transparent, and retain the lowest noise floor imaginable even in the most obnoxious 4CM rigs.
Components represent not only those required for our tonal goals, but also longevity and reliability. The chassis is stainless steel with welded corners. Construction is old-school eyelet/turret board and is fully hand-wired and assembled. Lastly, the heart of this amplifier is a custom-design transformer and choke set from the legendary Mercury Magnetics. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Unquestionably yes. Simply put, no corners were cut, no expenses spared in our pursuit of perfection.
Michael has once again collaborated with KSR Amps, who helped design and are manufacturing the incredible headshells. They feature carbon fiber tolex, custom machined grilles in durable matte black coating, and recessed Penn-Elcom handles for comfortable transport. Michael and Sammy are proud that even the headshell is a reflection of the care, attention to detail, and lofty expectations of this project.
