Fender’s original 1948 Dual Professional guitar amplifier is an extremely rare and collectible model that has never been reissued—until now. It was the first Fender amp with two speakers; its striking “V-front” appearance is an early-era Fender classic; and its throaty growl, whether used for its original lap steel purpose or for blues, rock or country guitar, has become legendary.

Acclaimed blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa, an avid collector of the world’s greatest vintage guitars and amplifiers, loaned Fender his own prized ’48 Dual Pro, which looks and sounds just incredible. At his request, Fender developed this hand-wired reissue model, which delivers the amazing look, tone, feel and overall vibe of that special vintage tube amp. The amp includes a 12AU7 phase inverter tube and two EF806 preamp tubes to replicate the sound and feel of the unavailable octal tubes in the original.

Hand-made in Corona, Calif., the ’48 Dual Professional JB Edition is designed and built to Joe Bonamassa’s specifications and is sure to appeal to his fans and to collectors and pro guitarists everywhere.

Features include:

Each amp is individually serialized as “DP001, DP002,” etc., and located on the tube chart and safety sticker inside the amp. Hand-made in Corona, California by Fender

Our take on the venerable Ibanez Mostortion of the early ’90s

• Transparent, amp-like OD/Distortion

• Premium quality parts and plated-through pcb

• Meticulously built and tested in the United States

• True bypass switching

• CA3260 IC chip as in the original

• THIS is the one the Nashville guys are using!

• Custom powder coated and silk screened enclosure

• Flexible 3-knob EQ for wide ranging tone control

• Plenty of gain to push the front end of your amp

• Great touch sensitivity – highly dynamic

• 9v external power only @ 11ma (DC jack is on the side)

• Also fantastic as a clean boost

The Best Rock and Roll lead amps on the Planet!!

Faithful recreations of the legendary Rocket amps as designed by Ken Fischer. Clean and chimey, this is Ken’s take on the AC30 with a bolder voice. Available in Cherry, Maple, Walnut, Sapele, Mahogany cabinet.

NOS build option: Made with original NOS Pacific transformers made for Ken Fischer to his spec, NOS Vectorbord/fleaclips, NOS Mallory PVC signal caps, and RV4 Mil Spec pots, just like the originals. Extremely limited quantity of NOS transformers available, don’t wait.

Both versions are fully hand build with extreme care to detail for that harmonic complexity and sustain. The tube complement is 30W from 4x EL84.

The Ceriatone TW series represents our take on yet another famous, rare amplifier line from the United States.

Like other Ceriatone amps, we have labored carefully to select the finest components to suit the design, and the Liverpull uses our specially designed and correct specification custom transformers for superior reliability, frequency response, and feel.

The ODS-II represents Andy Fuchs’ goal to take over 15 years of design evolution and customer feedback on the original Overdrive Supreme platform into the next millennium. Designed along with the new ODS-Classic, the ODS-II is the most versatile d-style tonal platform on the market worldwide. While inspired by classic D-style amps, it advances and improves many aspects and removes many shortcomings of the original iconic amps that inspired us.

Channel one has a dedicated tone stack, dual gain boosts, brite, deep and EQ switches, plus a mid boost and a mid shift pull pot. A channel master volume allows low to medium gain overdrive.

Channel Two has a dedicated tone stack, dual gain boosts, brite, deep and EQ switches, plus a mid boost and a mid shift pull pot. A separate gain stage features a drive, master and overdrive tone control. This channel has tons of gain on tap, going from the mild low-medium D-style gain tones in channel one, to searing higher gain saturated tones.

The global master controls overall gain after each channel is set to it’s own level. The accent control adds high end shimmer. The Spin digital reverb provides separate level and decay controls, allowing studio grade, warm deep reverb tones without the nuisance of reverb pan variability and vulnerability to handling.

The rear panel provides two FX loops: the standard Fuchs loop (series/parallel-line/pedal level with send and return controls) and a secondary loop (line level series only/ pre-power insert), a separate bias pot for each power tube is provided and an accurate digital display of bias readings is provided. An IEC power inlet (global switchable line voltage internally), AC and DC fuses, 4-8-16 ohm outputs via 5 jacks. Ethercon connector(s) for footswitch. Standard 6-way footswitch controls one gain boost per channel, mid boost per channel, reverb and channel switching. Optional Artist footswitch available, adds loop bypass for each loop, operates second gain boost on each channel, as well as adding mute function for use with amp switcher based rigs. A half power (where applicable) and a three way low-off-high fan switch round out the ample rear panel features.

The ODS-II captures all the tones that made the original Fuchs ODS amps legendary, but allows massive tonal flexibility via totally dedicated separate clean and overdrive channels, each with their own dedicated tone controls, mid and gain boosts, and master volumes.

Available in head and combos in black and creme as well as three power levels: Custom 25/50, 50-watts, and 100-Watts. Includes a 6-way footswitch standard with optional Artist footswitch for loop bypasses, muting and two additional remote gain boosts. 5-year warranty on everything except tubes.
