Who Buys A Graefe Designs™ Guitar Amp?

This article in all essence is... the writer's personal opinion, is an opinion of who would purchase one of Graefe Designs™ Boutique Hand Built Amps.

First and foremost there is the "guitarist" who, above all, who wants to hear exactly what his/her guitar and fingers are doing. (Of which I am one.) It's actually quite scary when you take away the veil of mush or syntheticky thing that most amps have due to either cheap parts or digital processing. These TruTONE™ Amps will inspire you if you are a serious player.

The next would be a studio facility that would love to have a WORLD CLASS GUITAR AMP to match the investment they made in world class recording gear. It will cover any style of music.

Last but not least, The Collector. It's one thing to be blessed enough to buy anything you desire. It's another thing to have that ability and spend your wealth on the beloved guitar. Many collectors buy wondrous gems in the guitar world. A few buy rare amps as well (many of these amps are old and may need rebuilding). The Graefe Designs TruTONE™ is in a rare class all it's own. You've invested all that money for guitars that are all unique in their own way. Well if it has a pickup on it, running it through these babies will really let you hear and know what it meant to play that guitar.

I, the author of this article, personally went to demo the amp for Graefe Designs on a few occasions while they were developing and tweaking. For some reason Tom values my opinion. I don't know why. :)

But I have to tell you, I left my amp with him.

This TruTone™ Amp is absolutely, hands down, without a doubt, undeniably the f***ing best amp I have ever heard!

For me the big test is having an amp pre-gain wide open (you know you need the crunch) and the master at a comfortable level. The test is when I start rolling off the GUITAR KNOB VOLUME the crunch goes away, the clean guitar appears without loss of MASTER volume. I have never heard an amp successfully do that... UNTIL NOW!

Safe to say I put my order in immediately! :)

Do yourself (and your guitar) a favor, look into buying one of these remarkable Graefe Designs™ Amps. Especially if you care anything at all about the sound of a guitar through an amp specifically made for a guitar player. I am now reevaluating how I play because of this amp. ;)
