Homestead Amps is a boutique tube amplifier company based in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, founded in 2014 by Peter McMahon. Before starting Homestead, McMahon spent roughly 15 years running Diaz Amplifiers, the company built around the work of legendary amp tech Cesar Diaz, whom McMahon apprenticed under in Washington D.C. That lineage informs Homestead's approach: hand-wired, point-to-point tube amps built in small numbers with a focus on vintage American and British tones.
The lineup centers on combo amps and heads such as the BF25, a compact low-wattage 6V6-based combo, and the HS50, a 50-watt 6L6 combo loaded with two 10" Celestion G10 Vintage speakers, along with the HL50 and smaller Champ-style builds. Cabinets and custom configurations are also part of the catalog, with many amps voiced around classic blackface and tweed-era reference points while allowing for player-specific tweaks.
Homestead has built or serviced amps for a number of touring guitarists, with names associated with the shop including Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Jay Jay French, and Myles Kennedy. The brand's reputation sits in the hand-built boutique corner of the market, trading on its Diaz pedigree and direct builder-to-player relationships rather than mass production.
Homestead Amps has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals and Boost Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include James Petralli.
