As i wrote in another thread, i was listening to a marvellous guitar sound yesterday. It was an amp built by Lars Reinau in Denmark. I've contacted him by now, and Im going there next week. He also does amp mods etc. His amps are hand-wired custom built based on Fender Tweed Deluxe. I just got this picture:



And here is what they sound like, played by Andreas O'Carrol.

I have some feeling that 212 combo has a great sound! Let us know how it goes Staffy

I think about 1000-1200$, but im not sure, I saw one used for about 800, but I will ask in my next mail to him. So just stay tuned!

That seems very reasonable for a Hand-made Boutique Amp!!

Samples sounds really great, with nice tube tone & dynamic. Perfect for bluesy/jazzy/funky... stuff !
Yes, keep us posted.

Awesome amps, Dennis Cornell makes something very similar in this country, Eric Clapton has one of his.

Yeah, I was about the say the same thing, Cornell ones are really top notch tweed amps.

I'm not sure what kind of transformers are used in these amps, but I think definitely top notch ones should be used. As far as I saw, Mercury magnetics
makes great transformers and they have versions for many vintage amps.
