A guitar needs to be paired with an amp of comparable quality. With 22 watts of tube driven power, this Dumble-inspired build sounds as lush as it looks on stage – and it's designed to do so.

The quilted redwood cabinet and the sculpted aluminum hex-perf grille are both intended to visually evoke the funky, twisted, and flowing sounds that are integral to the acid jazz and fluid melodies I love to play.

The warm sound of the handwired, point-to-point tube amp in its hardwood cabinet is perfectly matched to the visual depth of the enclosure itself.

The tube amp was handwired from a build kit supplied by Brown Note.
