We have some new offerings this year.

The Artemus is an 4x EL-84-driven combo. The details are on our Home page.
We have two new coverings: Alligator and Ostrich. Our Home page has photos.
There are three–count ‘em three–new variations on the Slant 6V:
1. Slant 6V Lt – Clean channel only version. Same as the classic, just no OD channel.
2. Slant 6V HP – High power version. With 4 6L6s making 100/55/35 watts.
3. Slant 6V HP Lt – High power, clean channel only version.
More info will be added to the Slant 6V page soon.
And lastly, sadly, we are discontinuing the Hammerhead. It was a great but misunderstood amp, and orders have been few and far between. So long lil’ buddy. *sniff*.

NOOOOO! Not the Hammerhead. Say it ain’t so! The Hammerhead and the Mercury are the only two modern production amplifiers i actually like! I was lucky enough to score a Mercury recently and was hoping one day to get myself a Hammerhead 1×12.

I am inclined to agree. The HH2 is gorgeous-sounding. I wish I had gotten together the cash for one.
