Industrial Amps: the cure for GAS

[umpahimself]

So... I just got the Industrial Amps Overdrive 15 and it kicks my ass. I went over to GC hoping to pickup a Blues or Hot Rod DeVille when this bright white amp that looked sort of like a bass amp (due to the thick metal screen) caught my eye. It was no bass amp. As soon as I plugged into this sucker my eyebrows jumped up and my father (big time audiophile) and I both looked at each other in surprise. We were confused and excited because we both really liked what we were hearing but we weren't sure what we were hearing. Anyways the salesman comes up and explains how there a boutique amp co. and GC bought three single amps, the Rock 120, Blues 60 and Overdrive 15 new from manufacturer but they could only sell one. Long story short I bought this $2,500.00 amp for $1,150.00 with a warranty and it is sweet.

"IA amps are point-to-point wired and built one-by-one in limited quantities with military spec, explosion proof, and hospital grade components."

Is it the cure for GAS... probably not, but it will definitely be in my arsenal for a long time.

If you wanted to get peoples attention you should have put "Mesa", in the thread title.

No one tries new things these days! Good on ya.

Can't wait to hear it dude. Post some clips if you can.

That's funny, whatever. These guys were definitely at the amp shows this year so they'll be getting their name out. Yea I want to post some clips but my Recording Interface is giving me issues.

I guess the Marshall Studio 15 is the closest thing to my amp.


Marshall Studio 15 features:
15 Watts
Celestion Vintage 30 12”
2x6V6GT Power
2x12AX7 PreAmp
Solid State Rectifier

The only difference in my specs is that my amp has 3x12AX7 Power Tubes and obviously the wiring.
