Ideal Innovations - High Quality Low Cost Vacuum Tube Audio Amplifiers and Pre-amps

GUITAR AMPLIFIERS

Boutique Guitar Amps

OK. You're wondering what is a "Boutique Guitar Amp"?
Click on it - I can't describe it any better!

This amplifier is not a toy - it's for the Professional Musician that needs an amp to fit the bill for a long time! These amps are also an ideal choice for home musicians who would like something a cut above the rest.

We've built an affordable "Extreme Quality" guitar amplifier for the Passionate Player who's looking for that unique tube sound. We see a lot of guitar amplifiers come through our repair shop and none - I mean NONE of these are built anywhere close to as well as these Euphony amps. There are many new amplifiers currently offered for much more money and and in our opinion many of these that we have seen are not built well at all - having either serious issues with electronics or cabinetry and sometimes both! We have actually built these new Euphony18 amplifiers to be the last amp you may have to buy!!

These amps come with many years of professional playing experience behind the co-designer of this model, and as you would expect coming from us, they're built to endure!!

These amplifiers are priced as indicated below.

We have demo units in the studio if you're fortunate enough to be within driving distance to give one a try. Also don't forget, we are a Custom Shop which means we can provide nearly any options you like including speakers, tube choices, heavy duty slip covers, cabinet hardwood types, and stain & paint finishes. As you can see here our new guitar amplifiers are built to the same very high standards we adhere to with our Hi-Fi tube amps - in short - they're built to last a life time - and the LIFETIME warranty proves it!!

Here is our "Piner" Demo Euphony18 Amplifier This amp is now being offered as a used Demo unit but we are are backing it with a full as-new warranty. It has been handled and played a lot so it does have some minor road wear and this is why we reduced the price. The Piner features a classic design using cathode biased (automatic bias no adjustments required) 6L6's for output tubes providing 18 watts RMS output power. A couple of 12ax7's provide the cool front end tone and ample drive for that desired breakup when you want push it! All this drives the ultimate tone maker - the 12" JENSEN C12R. The cabinetry workmanship is nothing short of excellence with these amps. Dovetail corner joints provide an ultra rigid enclosure that will stand up well for decades. The cabinet's solid resonance delivers to the max on tone.
