� American Amps for American Metal � We are a family owned business, with a huge passion for Tone!!

As a player myself, I am always chasing THAT TONE. I'll probably never find it, but I found another passion while looking for it. I started this as a broke kid trying to sound like the rock gods of my childhood. I began reading and learning the ins and out of tube technology and reading schematics, and after "SEVERAL" solder burns and shocks; I finally made a clone of a Tweed Pro. From that moment I was hooked, just seeing what I could produce with my own hands. Things have come a long way since then, but I still feel the same enjoyment everytime I pick up the iron. This passion for creating something iconic that will outlive me, drives me to keep trying new things. To people like me amplifiers are not the last thing in the chain, its the base to create a new beginning. Amplifiers and effects can be modified to suit anyone, it just takes time. Come let us shape your tone!

Just like riding a bike, right?
Let’s see…Where to begin.
Life has been great, enjoying my new career, and spending time with family.

I decided to build another hand wired amplifier in a Sabot chassis. I am doing a few things I always wanted to try but the market wanted something different.

Here’s the build plan.
- Tube rectified
- No clipping
- No crazy switches
Going for a Heavily driven Clean tone that sings. No heavy saturation, but tons of bite. Primary focus is Lead tone with a lot of body and sustain.
I’ll keep you posted on the journey with plenty of pictures. Gonna let my OCD fly free 😆

Hey! Long time no see!!!
A lot has changed in the past year.
▪️Retired from the military
▪️Moved to Tampa
▪️Started a new, incredible career

I still have my entire shop and a lot of equipment. While I don’t intend to reopen the company, I do still have a passion to play and build amps. I’ll probably build a few amps a years and restoration projects as I thoroughly enjoy that work.

Who all do I have in the Tampa area? I’d love to get together and get in to the music scene here.

Hey everyone! Below is the link to the ATM-50 BOMs. These will help you populate the boards we made. For the offboard wiring, there are a ton of options out there as well as places to buy kits to use this board with. Check out Ceriatone, Mojotone, EL34world, and many more. The offboard wiring is essentially the same where ever you look. I would recommend starting off with a basic Plexi style then modify the circuit to the other models if you are new to this.

Slight hiccup…..
Hey everyone, I have an update on the ATM50 PCBs and unfortunately it’s not great. Turns out I accidentally left the store address (the one we just closed) for shipping. Long story short, they attempted delivery then returned to sender. I contacted them and paid for expedited shipping to get them to my home address. I’m sorry for the hiccup. The address was saved in their system and I didn’t think to change it. This is all on me and I’m making it right plus a little surprise that will be coming with your shipment. Thank you everyone for your continued support and loyalty!!!

Just wanted to take a second and make sure everyone understands the process for the ATM50 PCBs.
I put this out as a preorder and once the preorder passed, I ordered board to fulfill those orders. I am currently waiting on the PCBs to arrive then I will ship them out.
They should arrive any day now and will be in the mail the following day.

Ok people!! I got all the orders in and will shoot everyone a message with tracking once they arrive. I have a few unclaimed, so I’m going to RANDOMLY give a few people an extra FREE board!! Thanks everyone! I’ll see you all around and we’ll see if I come back in the future. Take care!

I made a change to the ATM-50 boards. I added the footprints for the Jose clipping circuit instead of just a connection point. This will be in the Google Drive folder as well. Figured it would make things easier for everyone. The .22uF/400V cap is available in several options on Digikey. I will add a couple part numbers in the file though.
