Carl's Custom Amps The Kirn

"How many people get to say that they have a custom made amp? Me! After going through amp after amp after amp I knew I had to try something else so I contacted Carl's custom amps in New Mexico and together we came up with an amp that was exactly what I needed. The first channel is based on a EF-86 Vox AC-15 circuit, everything you want in a Vox but the EF-86 gives you more gain on tap than you can possibly image. The second channel is a based on a Supro Duo-tone, Zepplin tones for days. The best part about it is that I can dial in any combination of the two ciruits that I need which makes it incredible for what I do. The power section just adds to the perfection. The variable power scaling circuit gives me the ability to run it anywhere from 1/10th of a watt to all the way open at 15 watts. I can dial in those "edge of break up" tones at any volume. All of that goodness running through an Avatar Alnico 25... it's dope!"
