44 WATTS OF HANDWIRED FILLMORE TONE PERFECTION
Finally an Amp that gives you either Duane or Dickey and the choice is yours.

This Handwired Amp is exactly what players have been looking for more than 50 years and feature some of the world's most sought-after Tones. The Fillmore East Tone in a 1x12 Combo. Choose from a Duane Model or a Dickey Model

This represents the first time anyone has offered a handwired amp based upon what made Legendary Players like Duane Allman and Betts Famous. And the Tones don't stop there. Like the amps used on those special nights of recording, this new handwired amp shares the simplicity of operation and natural valve tones along with the correct modifications that make it stand out as one of the most iconic amp tones of all time.

The FE 44 Amplifier

The FE Series is a 44-watt version of the fabled amp tones from the Fillmore East recordings. It boasts a point-to-point, handwired circuit housed in an aluminum chassis. At the very heart of its simple yet effective single-channel design can be found ECC83s in the preamp and a pair of 6550's or KT 66's in the power stage depending on the model chosen. As the output and mains transformers are vital components in any amplifier as they influence performance, sound, we added beefier transformers to increase headroom and stability. The amp uses tube rectification and is built like a tank.

Duane and Dickey Both used a combination of Modified Marshall amps as well as Fender amps to create those magical tones. We have now combined the best of both into one amp. The correct post Master volume allows you to dial in from bedroom levels to club level. Perfect for any Gig or recording.

The Duane Model will give you the exact amp tone and response he was getting at the Fillmore that night. Our modifications are based on the exact modifications that were done to Duane’s amps used at the show.

The Dickey Model will get you that clean headroom to plenty of drive and sustain as heard at the Fillmore to a more modern version you hear from Dickey’s amps in the more recent years.

The HYBRID Speaker Design
A contributing sonic factor in the amplifier is the way the sound of the Hybrid speaker captures that JBL D120 midrange and punch. The speaker starts with a Peavey Black Widow and 4-inch voice coil and we recone them with exact JBL D120 parts for a much better-voiced speaker. Better bottom-end clarity than original JBL D120’s. And they are 15% louder than and original D Series speaker at lower volumes. A perfect match! Vintage JBL D120’S are available when we have stock.

All of our models are available for a Vintage JBL D120 Speaker Upgrade just like Duane & Dickey used. These speakers have been reconed with a true paper to the edge D120 Kit for the exact tone. In a cabinet using 2 or more speakers, we recommend a combination of the Hybrid Speaker and a JBL D120 for the best of both worlds.

Optional Spring Reverb

Both models are available with true spring reverb. Reverb can be a really powerful musical spice. Most recordings include some kind of reverb to create dimension and space. Part of the Magic for the Fillmore Recordings was the Fillmore room itself. Whether you are playing a small gig or jamming at home or even the large venues, having onboard reverb adds to your overall tone.
