My Model 2 permanently sits on my desk running into my Universal Audio OX. Best amp I’ve ever owned. Tons of texture and dimension. -BC

“Sounds great! My buddy has a few Filmosound conversions done by notable builders and I think yours sounds better than all of them. The clarity and headroom on the first half of the volume dial is really nice and the tone knob has a really wide range for different guitars and cabs. Well done brother - thanks so much.” -C.W.

The AMPSAMPS Model 2. This is the amp for you if you want a daily driver that sounds and feels like a vintage amp but without the price tag or concern for vintage-amp preservation. Many tweed amps break up too early. I aim for clean headroom and clarity for the first 40-50% of the volume dial followed by breakup and compression at full volume - no mud. There is a wide range on the tone control that adds a little bit of extra oomph and sparkle as you turn it up, and at 10-12 watts, it’s perfect for at-home playing, recording or small club gigs.

The Model 2 is my homage to American tweed amps from the 50’s, and is built with new components using point-to-point wiring on terminal strips, reusing the original transformers from the Filmosound amplifier. With all of my amps, my goal is to get the signal from your fingers to the speaker the shortest route possible so as to capture all of the dynamics of your playing for an interactive experience between you and the amp.
