At "FIREBELLY" we successfully "nail" the tone of vintage tube amplifiers of the early 1950's and 1960's with upgraded re-creations of some of the finest hand wired Blackface vintage tube amps ever produced. Our hand wired, point-to-point "style" guitar tube amplifiers are based on the most sought after vintage tube amp circuits of the early 60's.
FireBelly is introducing Four "Special Edition" retail models for exclusive distribution through independent and chain music stores. They are the three "Blackface" models, "PR" with a 1 X 12" at 35-watts , "DL" with a 1 X 12" at 22-watts, and "VB" with a 2 X 10" at 40-watts and a special release of the 1955 "Tweed" 5F2-A at 6-watts with a 1 X 10". These upgraded vintage tube amplifiers differ from earlier models sold through the internet and have many enhanced features included standard.
Our retail models have special features such as Mallory M-150 and Orange Drop tone capacitors, G10 Glass Epoxy boards, adjustable bias, special edition vintage AlNiCo speakers, six spring Accutronics reverb tanks, modified boost circuits, and much, much more. Our Blackface models also have built-in switchable 6db Power Attenuators that allow the amp to be turned up to their full volume "sweet spot", while effective output volume can be reduced by up to 75% (-6db). FireBelly has also partnered with Jensen and is featuring speakers that closely match the specifications for the the original vintage tube amplifier speakers produced in this golden era of tone.
FireBelly guitar tube amplifiers are hand built tube amplifiers and assembled in Southern California. They are solidly constructed, extremely roadworthy, readily serviceable, and produce a purity of tone that cannot be found in mass-produced, machine soldered production guitar tube amplifiers. Our cabs are constructed of solid 3/4" finger jointed pine for overall strength and pristine tonal quality.
"Reissues" are often mass-produced overseas using circuit boards with thin signal traces and modest components. Servicing circuit board amps can also be very challenging, even for the best of technicians. FireBelly guitar tube amplifiers are hand soldered, one at at time a include the finest components such as Mallory M150, Orange Drop and Silver-Mica capacitors tone capacitors, CTS potentiometers, Sprague/Atom filter caps, Carling switches, and other top quality components to that produce the best possible tone.
Every guitar tube amplifier that leaves our shop is tested "live" and then burned in for 36-hours. All tubes are hand selected for best match to your particular amplifier. Tubes are selected for low microphonics, balanced output and specific tonal characteristics. We pride ourselves on catering to the discriminating musician, yet maintain a pricing structure that is similar to companies who mass produce vintage reissue tube amplifier models on a high production basis.
How do we produce a custom hand built vintage tube amplifier at mass production pricing? First, we build each guitar amplifier one at a time, in our own shop here in Southern California. We do not maintain an expensive sales force, carry a large inventory or produce high volume by outsourcing our work. Each vintage tube amp is individually constructed with the single minded goal of achieving tonal satisfaction for each of our customers.
Each guitar tube amplifier typically takes 6-8 weeks to construct, including live testing and "burn-in". Only when each vintage tube amplifier passes our own testing will it be sent on its way to the musician awaiting tonal bliss.
