BluGuitar - Tone Innovation For Guitarists | 1 year ago

In this weeks AcademyOfTone 178 Thomas delves deep into the world of boutique amplifiers!

Once the classics from the first generation of amp manufacturers had made their mark, the electric guitarist species demanded "more" and relentlessly pursued that ever-elusive "better tone" and heightened flexibility. Enter a league of experienced repair technicians and designers who began to mod and hot rod the iconic Fender, Marshall, and Vox amps, tailor-fitting them for the guitar heroes of the 70s and 80s.

As the demand grew, these technicians found themselves crafting their own unique amplifiers, paving the way for what we now recognize as Boutique Amps. Brands like Mesa Boogie, Trainwreck, Dumble, Bogner, Friedman, Bad Cat, Soldano, and many more emerged, setting a new standard for tonal excellence and becoming the Holy Grail of guitar tone.

In this episode, Thomas will showcase a selection of examples featuring moderately driven tones from a Larry Amplification-built Trainwreck Express and an early BatCat HotCat. Of course, he'll put these boutique beasts to the test in an A/B comparison with the AMP1.

This episode will keep the focus on low to medium gain sounds, as we have an exhilarating high-gain special in the pipeline for the future. Get ready for an ear-opening showdown that'll leave you craving those legendary boutique tones! 🎡πŸ”₯
