Karl Wohlwend's The People's Amplifier

At last! A simple tube amp that doesn't demand me to read, learn or understand. Plug it in and play! I play 4 electric guitars, al with their own sound. The Peoples Amp only reproduces that sound with some tube warmth added to it. This is the amp that does what you tell it to do. Responsive. I use it with an open back 2x10 Framus cab. Plenty of volume. The fun really starts when I use my effects. The beautiful and natural way this amp distorts, when asked to, is interacting uniquely with most effects.
I guess, for me, this is the ideal partner for my pedals. It does what it needs to do. Solid, basic amplifying. At very little cost.

Based on the Marshall 1974 (the "Bluesbreaker Jr" or the Marshall 18 Watt), Karl added both his own idea about what this amp should sound like as his philosophy on how amps should be build and sold. He has refreshing ideas on technique and price.
