I just have to spread the word on this FABULOUS amp made right here in CANADA !!!!!!
Let me first say that I am an amp junkie. Moreso than guitars. I believe that a good amp does more for you than another guitar does. And although
I generally swim in the high-end boutique/vintage pool. I also love and own many PC board, non-trendy amps. Whatever tool will work the best for the situation. So this is my point of reference reference when I say that....
.....This amp is quite possibly the best el84 based amp I've ever heard, let alone owned. ( Guitar Player magazine gave it an Editor's Pick award) Don't think Vox here. Simon has come up with a much larger sounding take on this tube's capabilities. I used it in rehearsal the other night and was unbeleivably impressed. I used a Tele with it for most of the night, but it had unbelievable versatility. He has built a one channel amp that allows you to go from shimmering cleans to full on solo sounds at the turn of your guitar's volume knob. With features like a foot switchable gain control, global tone (to set the overall colour of the amp) along with a full tone stack, eq bypass(think Two-Rock here), and gorgous tremelo, it only adds to the beautiful inherent tone of this amp. I recomend going to the Kingsley site. www.kingsleyamplifiers.com Simon has put some mighty fine clips of his amps on there. But that only scratchs the suface of how good these amps are in person.
Please chime in if you have any experience with these amazings amps.
Cheers
