WE KNOW BENCHMARK TONE

SOCAL GUITAR AMPS has one of the largest collections of very rare amps that are considered to be the "tonal references" by which others are judged. We currently have rare vintage amps including Marshall, Vox, Fender, Laney, etc. Lots of recording artists and amp enthusiasts have purchased rare and boutique amps from us over the years because of our experience and expertise. We sell, set up, service and rent amps to many of the best players including New Old Stock tube upgrades, speaker cabinet or speaker upgrades, amp voicing, speaker aging, amp modifications, etc.

WE SELECT THE BEST AMPS

SOCAL GUITAR AMPS carefully selects the finest sounding amp brands based on tone, build quality and value. The builders we represent are considered to be among the very best and their amps have all the elements that make them musically superior including tonal balance, harmonic complexity, articulation, touch sensitivity and dynamic response. We are constantly on the lookout for great new amps and we audition at least 2 new brands a month, but only the very best make the cut to be included in the amps we offer to our clients.

WE REALLY KNOW OUR AMPS

At SOCAL GUITAR AMPS, we play, tune and service the amps we rent all the time. Every amp we rent is also in our studios which are used by more than 50 bands each month. In addition, we put them through extensive testing and try every possible tube and or speaker type that you can imagine with various guitars. We really listen to what our clients say as they test or play the amps with their bands. All this gives us a lot of valuable info in terms of what players like, what each amp is really capable of, and how well they hold up. Lastly, Erik and Curt work in conjunction with several of the elite amp builders on exclusive models with custom features.

THE ULTIMATE AMP AUDITION EXPERIENCE

When you are ready to play some of the best high-end guitar amps on the planet, contact us to set up an appointment. We will give you the personal attention that you deserve. We start out by asking a series of questions to determine what type of amp will best suit your needs. Then we start the audition process. Each one of our studios is a perfectly tuned room. There are no standing sound waves or sonic inconsistencies to confuse your ears. In other words, the rooms are "Flat " and it is a perfect environment for testing the amps against each other. There will be no surprises when you play the amp of your choice in your own environment. In addition, you get your own private studio. You can play as loud as you like and there are no distractions from anyone playing right next to you.

THE EXTRA MILE

Once you narrow it down to your dream amp, we will spend more time discussing various options as in the configuration, the colors, the speaker choice, the tube choice, and more. If we do not have that specific amp in stock then we will custom order it for you. At that point, if needed we will give you a loaner amp to use while your amp is being built. That way there is no down time and you will have an amp to gig and play with that same day. If we have the amp in stock, you can take that home with you or we can ship it to you. We also offer a 14-day trial period. If you decide that the amp isn't quite right for your needs, then you can exchange it for any of the other 200 plus amp models that we stock. Only a small restocking fee and any applicable shipping charges will apply to your exchange. Our thinking is this, since we carry just about every great amp made, then it's just a matter of finding out what your hands and your ears like. Our goal is to work with you to find your perfect amp even if that takes longer.

IF YOU ARE FAR AWAY

Then you have all the more reason to work with us. We can guide you to your perfect "keeper" amp because we have hands-on experience with the very best amps in the world. We understand the subtle differences, we have experienced ears, and we have the opportunity on a daily basis to hear players just like you, A/B test our fine amps. We have a close and personal relationship with many of amp builders, a more than passing familiarity with amp design, and a true devotion to making the right match between player, guitar, amp, and speakers.

You can call us 7 days a week to receive personal attention to discuss your amplifier needs. We will spend as much time as needed by asking you a series of questions about your amplifier requirements. By using our extensive amp knowledge and our in depth discussions with you, we can help you make a well-informed decision so you get your perfect amp. To assist in the decision process you can listen to amp sound samples for many of the models on our website. Then if you need even more sonic information we can send you a free amp demo CD to help you zero in on the tone you really like. Instead of wading through opinions based on limited experience, let us share our solid time tested knowledge to help you make the choice that's right for you. Over the years we have helped hundreds of clients find their perfect amp setup with the tone and feel they had always dreamed of even when they were thousands of miles away. We can do the same for you.
