Tube guitar and bass amps for modern requirements

It turns out the RTS sounds pretty decent as a bas It turns out the RTS sounds pretty decent as a bass preamp just out of the box. 
Did this with a JB and the RTS straight into the interface line in. 
Now how about we convert it to a full preamp, with VOL-BASS-TREBLE controls? Blitzkrieg tube rig in your pocket!

First major redesign of the RTS tube booster/OD. S First major redesign of the RTS tube booster/OD.
Signal path only had minor corrections, has the same Kaosamp mojo as before, let it be tightening up the low end or boosting a classic tube amp into oblivion while keeping it tight, or adding analog magic to digital rigs.
Ditched the second ++ foostswich since everybody used one or the other mode permanently, so toggle switch it is, and this way we have more room for an improved internal power supply. 
And yes, the 12ax7 tube is still inside of course. 
Grab yours and let the kaos mojo flow through your rig!

As studio quality devices became more and more af As studio quality devices  became more and more affordable, many of us can record at home in very decent quality. 
Tubes and iron are the real deal though still. Thats why we offer the built in dummy load and line out mods not just to our, but to virtually any tube amp, so with a quality IR you can still enjoy the TONE  you got used to playing through the cabinet as the signal is taken from the output transformer. 
This ol' tweed Warthog jut got that treatment.
Have a nice weekend, cheers!

I wasn't gonna dedicate a whole post to this, but I wasn't gonna dedicate a whole post to this, but that little board is so cute, i had to! ( :
Our footswichable 2nd master volume mod can be added to any amp, this time it was a TSL 60. It comes handy in this model since the FX loop seats in the middle of the preamp not between the pre and power amp, so volume boost can't be achieved with anything put there.

Hey'yall! A lot of going on behind the scenes righ Hey'yall! A lot of going on behind the scenes right now, like the TubeCube final version is coming, RTS booster got an mk2 update, also amp builds you ll love ( at least i got my new favorite tolex color), so shortly i ll start sharing those, but now: an extensive modding or a @krankamps rev1. 
-adding extra tube for a cathode follower to drive the tone stack, and for a real tube fx loop
-master volume 
-feedback/depth pot
-changing SMD plate and cathode resistors to THT
-and of course new lead channel circuit.
How does it sounds? Huge! Swipe and find out!

[ENG below] . Kissé elérzékenyülök mindig mik [ENG below]

Kissé elérzékenyülök mindig mikor a Protone erősítők, vagyis megalkotójuk, Lőcincz Attila kerül szóba. Nem csak a hazai csöves erősítős élet meghatározó alakja volt, hanem minket is ellátott trafókkal, hardverekkel, és önzetlenül jótanácsokkal, alkatrészekkel több, mint egy évtizedig, mielőtt elvesztette a harcot a rákkal szemben. 
Ezért mindig kiemelkedő tisztelettel fordulok minden általa készített erősítő felé, ami a kezeim közé kerül. Ez is egy inkább midgain darab volt, ami most egy komplett új HatreD előfokot, valamint beépített 150 wattos műterhelést és line outot kapott IR-es otthoni felvételekhez. 
Az előlapi layoutot meghagyva a tiszta megmaradt non-masteres jellegű egy bright kapcsolóval, a maradék 3 pedig a torz csatihoz tartozó BITE és BODY ill an NFB/DEPTH, így a lead csati klasszik heavy metaltól modern lehangolt láncfűrészelésig bármire alkalmas lett. 
Remélem, hogy segítettem ennek a darabnak is tovább élni.

The creator of Protone amplifiers Attila Lőrincz was a prominent member of the tube amp community here in Hungary. He supplied us with transformers and hardware for more than a decade until he lost the battle with cancer. 
His kind-, and selflessness was unparalleled and helped many of us in need, so i take utmost respect every time one of his creations crosses my path. 
This one was a midgain amp and as per the customer's request got a complete new HatreD preamp section with BITE and BODY switches, NFB/DEPTH switch in the power amp, and a 150W built in dummy load with line out for standalone IR based recording, giving the amp new life and new purpose to live on.

Saturday story: this might be the very first full Saturday story: this might be the very first full build i did like 13-15 years ago. You can see the old logo. Used a 100w Laney Supergroup chassis with its trafos, i built a custom eyelet board 2 channel circuit into it. It is a 100w el34 amp. Actually this was the base that later evolved 2 ways both the Sludge/Warthog and the Rock (Z/F/Horus) series. 
I remember toying with the idea making this a regular model, but the appereance was too Marshall'ish and i really don't like labeled as copys because we are not doing that.
I was very happy it resurfaced after all those years, the customer stated it was practically a barn find. 
It worked but needed some care, also a tube buffered fx loop and a footswitchable solo boost - the one that was used on the Sludgehog pedal too - was added, also a few tubes needed replacement. Oh and a Feedback pot was also added on the back. Made a little video of it's effect, will post that also later. 
Well it sounds fresh and very much alive now, will rock on for another decade at least i hope!

Here s the video i recorded with our own IR i made Here s the video i recorded with our own IR i made of my personal cabinet, that comes with every purchase!
Beware of the caveman riffs! 
Some details about the SLUDGEHOG pedal:
--Cast aluminium enclosure for better heat dissipation, so no extra venting holes or fan required.
--Powder coated and laser engraved enclosure. 
--2x12ax7 tubes inside running on high plate voltage provided by the internal charge pump
--runs on 12VDC center negative power supply (included) 
--BOOST function adds mids and gain for solos to cut through the mix both on recording or on stage
--Even bypassed a high voltage operated power FET high headroom buffer is still active, so no signal degradation occures when the unit is in the signal path, switched on or off.

My friend Ralph D has this Feral and thought about My friend Ralph D has this Feral and thought about updating, modding it a little. So we got rid of the freq switches in the power amp (presence and resonance) stuck to the preferred  value, converted to BITE BODY GAIN switches in the preamp, got a new  blacked out 5mm thick alu faceplate tombstone tyle, and a new, laser engraved alu conrol plate under the pots. Previous style on the 3rd photo.
Which one do you like better?

Since we already build a few of these in the last Since we already build a few of these in the last 12 months and i didn t made a proper introduction (that is totally my fault), and the Scarface amp pops up here and there so here we go, the Kaosamp Scarface.
Designing this amp i thought about a minimalistic, pure as possible approach to rock/metal guitar tones. Shortest signal path as possible, but incorporating unusual methods, solutions. 
Clean channel...well, cleaner channel, is plexi style, you can roll it to clean with your fingertips on your guitar's pots, but you can play classic rock on it too.
The lead channel is a crossover between the hatred/sludge/warthog circuits, keeping it nice and saturated to play it any style (bite and body switches included), heavy overdrive but still not super mega higain, so train your picking hand! (: 
Another twist is in the power amp section. That we kept clean, organic, no NFB at all, and utilized an active PI tail for perfect balancing of the push-pull output section's push and pull parts. 6550 tubes for that headroom. 
It lives and breathes as you play. 
Well, pretty much that's it, who's gonna be the first one ordering with a custom Tony Montana faceplate?

Happy birthday USA, and also my birthday happens t Happy birthday USA, and also my birthday happens to be on 4th of July. So, after a quick survey in our Fb group (named KAOS ampers -  pun intended - come and join!) turns out the 30-50W  is the most popular range, so here we go summer sale! Also to top that, even more discount applies if you purchase an amp+cab combo. Secure your spot and enjoy your customized gear!

Have you ever wished you 'd sound good on any backline? Or you have organic, tube tone recordings with an IR? Well, here you go! 
A crossover of our two most successful amps' preamp circuit, the Sludge and the Warthog. 2x12ax7 well protected inside the cast alu enclosure. Plug it into the fx return or the clean channel of any amp and it delivers that dynamic, rich, responsive yet crushing tone our amps are known for. 
Bonus 1: footswitchable lead boost for those shedding solos to cut though the mix. Adds extra mids and gain. 
Bonus 2: runs on 12VDC 1A center negative standard supply, the B+ is made with internal charge pump. 
Bonus 3: the high voltage, high headroom, transparent output buffer is always in the signal
path, so even in bypass mode there will be no signal loss no matter the cable lenght you run after it.
Sexy, isn't? Well, you can have it now!

Everyone knows old @laneyamplification amps have a Everyone knows old @laneyamplification amps have a special place in my heart. By deafault they have that superbass'ish circuit with a jtm'ish 6k6 (half that for 100w models)  OT. A lil sluggish for my preference but i like the taste of it.  I usually remove that with a few simple mods, the result is a much clearer, faster sound. Worked very well on this combo too.
It was in terrible shape, a rewound PT with broken connections, a lot of KGST components butchered in (quite common on this side of the iron curtain), and missing pieces in the frame, rusted, cross threaded, broken screws. 
Well, not anymore, all filter caps replaced, coupling caps replaced with vintage correct ones, replaced the missing pieces of the back frame, and replaced literally all wood screws, patched up their worn out holes. 
Turned out superb, an organic, fast, detailed combo amplifier, hear as the owner, @szaberraa of @punnanymassif  rocks it!
