As the name implies the BONES amp is just that, a stripped down “bare bones”
amplifier. With modern styling and a simple & intuitive front panel layout,
BONES is extremely versatile and completely inspiring from the first note
played. It retains all the detail of your instruments and playing dynamics as
well as front-end coloration from stomp box pedals.

DETAILS
The control panel from L to R: INPUT, GAIN, BRIGHT switch, BASS, BOOST switch,
MIDDLE, VOICING L/M/H switch, TREBLE, DEPTH, PRESENCE, MASTER, STANDBY, POWER.
On the rear panel: MAINS INPUT, 5 LOUDSPEAKERS jacks for 4, 8 or 16 OHM with
optional FX LOOP, LINEOUT, FOOTSWITCH and MIDI. Additional rear panel features
includes user adjustable external BIAS test points and individual BIAS controls
for more tonal options. The output tubes are also fused in pairs. In case of tube
failure you will be able to finish your gig. The master volume functions
perfectly at bedroom levels and completely stays together full on. The audio
path is switched via relays with no solid state for a true 100% all tube signal
path. The wolf in sheep’s clothing is the VOICING L/M/H, which is a 3-position
switch that selects between 2, 3 or 4 stages of gain. This function greatly changes the
sound and feel of the amp giving you an astonishing array of tones. From
luscious, spanky clean to searing, cabinet exploding high gain overdrive, it’s like
having 3 completely different amps!
CONSTRUCTION
All ceramic tube sockets, sealed
stainless steel shafted pots, metal switches, metal jacks, custom designed
precision wound power, choke and output transformers are mounted to a 14 gauge
brushed stainless steel chassis. All the chassis mounted components are wired
“flying lead“ style to a 1/8” thick, 4oz weighted FR4 PCB. Front and back panel
are clear anodized brushed aluminum with laser etched lettering that will not
wear off. Housed in a 3/4” birch-ply enclosure, accented with custom black
aluminum anodized metal grills and a 1/4” thick machined aluminum logo plate.
Premium components and solid, reliable design that will last a lifetime.
OPTIONS
For those of you who are thinking
“...man, I wish this amp had an extra GAIN, MASTER pot or that the BOOST, FX
LOOP, VOICING L/M/H was footswitchable or every function with MIDI control...”
The answer to all the above is, YES! Contact us with your specific needs.
