"Built the way they used to build them"

Hamilton-Kolby has developed a small line of custom-built vacuum-tube guitar amplifiers inspired by the finest examples from the golden age of tweed. We believe that the magic of these amplifiers results not only from their circuit design, but from the construction materials and techniques used to build them. Our amplifiers are truly "built the way they used to build them". And they sound like their older counterparts too.

Consider these features:

Chrome-plated steel chassis
Finger-jointed solid pine cabinet
Multi-coat shellac-lacquered Tweed
Hand-wired circuit using authentic vulcanized fiber-board and brass eyelets
Highest quality components - Switchcraft^TM jacks, Sprague^TM and F&T capacitors, Alpha and CTS Pots, Jensen (or user-specified) loudspeakers
Chassis-mounted tube sockets, controls, and jacks
Removable speaker baffle board

In addition, the following features make the product more resilient, more maintainable, and more robust than their forebearers:

Stainless Steel hardware

3-wire grounded industrial-duty cord with moulded 3-wire plug

Customer selectable loudspeaker and vacuum tube complement

Reverb option - Accutronics spring reverb, vintage vacuum tube circuit

	Classic Control Panel -- The essence of simplicity. Every unit is supplied with an Owner's Manual that describes all features, a technical discussion of how it works, and schematic diagram for long-term serviceability.
	With an ultra-clean layout, and eminently servicable, these amplifiers are made to last for decades, just as so many of their predecessors are working today.
