"Everyone who has played it has been blown away!"

My version of the Famous 18 Watt Combo of yesteryear,                         
                   built with better components than were available....
                                                               ......or ever used, in a production amplifier.


"Doug,   I recorded a blues trio last weekend and the guitar player used the 8 Teen with the OutboarD Reverb.  He is usually a fender nut, but he fell in love and said he wants to order the 8 Teen when he can.  I would be happy to send you some sound clips from that session, really shows what a great blues amp it can be.  Also, my friend who has a SimpleX Head, OutboarD, and your V-Drive amp played the 8 Teen and thought it was the best amp he had ever heard!!! Now he really wants to order an 8 Teen half-stack.  Everyone who has played it has been blown away."  CLIENT EMAIL
