I am working now on a design that will improve fidelity by 20% in any amp made, tube or SS. :D
It will never burn out and draws very little current.

Bottom line?
$300

Get'em while you can before the price goes up.

Careful, you are infringing on Airbloom Amplifiers patented super secret amp circuit design. Any future infringement will result in notifying the SEC, FBI, NAMBLA, NSA, and possibly Larry Carlton. You have been warned.

You just described Syracuse. But I don't recommend it. Too cold, and there is a serious infestation of deeply entrenched politicians here.
Yeah, but the Lost Horizon makes up for it. That place next door that used to be a strip club would be perfect for a business such as this.

Sadly, it's just about the last of the local rock clubs. Far fewer shows these days. Things aren't like they used to be.

Last time I was there was to see the Smithereens. Met them afterwards and talked shop for a while.

In your neck of the woods ..... I used to get to Vermont once in a while to visit friends ...... I saw Roger Mcguinn at a tiny place in Rutland years ago. There were less than a dozen audience members. Didn't matter to him, he played brilliantly. I sat five feet from him and could see everything. Fantastic.

that amp thief has pirated my pirated designs for the last time!! just to sell his clones tsk tsk tsk :roll:

new development: the reverse noise gate, cancels out that pesky "stringy boxy" sound and lets that sweet StockTone (tm) shine!

also the "mortal amp" mod, designed by me to emulate the tone of a burning amplifier, one time use only

Will that be available as a stereo option? Can the rate-of-burn across the stereo field be modulated with a pan control? There will be actual flames, right? Not just a glowing, low-voltage LED to simulate flames? And smoke? Lots of smoke?

You got company now Mr. Rognab. NPR reports that Google's "Mystery Barge" just got kicked out of SF harbor (considering SF, that takes SOME doing :shock:) and is now headed for - - - Stockton. Hey maybe you can show them computer jocks some real whiz-bang vacuum tube technology. And with both businesses operating, Stockton will have . . . two businesses operating. That's a long way off the bottom for a down-at-the-heels burg like Stockton. Stop at the barge & give 'em the Welcome Wagon treatment when they arrive.

stocktone now offers to transform the output stage of any 100W amp into a 4-bit computer! transmit that sweet stock-tone straight to the cloud!

hmm, mystery barge... sounds fishy :lol:

Doubtless some high ranking google hag read about you reviving Stockton and thought it best to jump on the bandwagon, er, bandbarge & beat the crowd. Grab the real estate while it's still dirt cheap. The river too.

Hey I can do less - with less. Howsabout a Champ-like affair, one-bit computer. Nobody's heard anything like it since um, . . . . Sputnik I.

Yeh and stacked 4-high above the waterline with shipping containers. It's beyond guessing, what mighty Goggle is up to. They "claim" it's for some special edjumekashunal experience - an "interactive technology center" to quote the newscast. I think they're setting up their own version of the Philadelphia experiment. If you see the barge blinking on and off, you'll know I was right. That Gloogle - they think they can just barge in anywhere they want.
