Anyone heard FatAmps?

Post by brain21 »

I'm looking at lower-end TW clones. FatAmps Lil Rocket looks interesting, but it seems more like a Liverpool w/ a tube rectifier in that the controls are more like the Express/Liverpools vs the simpler Rocket. He also adds a tube reverb circuit in there as well.

Anyway, anyone heard these? What is your experience compared to other, lower cost TW clones (Ceriatone, etc.)?

Thanks!

Hi brain21
That would be me
here's the original build thread for that amp
https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... et&start=0
It is a Rocket circuit modified with a Mid pot, reverb and reverb controls
I have a down and dirty clip of the amp
just so you know Ceriatone is around 1000.00 +ship for a 4xel84 no reverb head
Just so you know I may be cheap but I'm easy too:)

Cool. Thanks for the reply! Yes, I know the Ceriatone's brand new get up there, but used ones are often considerably less. Either way, a Rocket with a mids control and some brightness options is appealing. I should have my IRS refund in 2-4 weeks and looking to purchase something right around then. I'll let you know via PM here when that happens and see if yours is still for sale. :)
