I'm Don Anderson, founder of Club Amplifiers. I hope you will find this site useful as you explore your sonic objectives.
Club Amplifiers was proud, once again, to be a sponsor of the San Jose Jazz Festival. Club Amps could be found on 8 of the 10 stages. It is a truly great festival celebrating not only jazz, but salsa, swing, blues and more. We hope to have pictures soon.
Our mission statement is a pretty simple one:
1) Very compact amplifiers suitable for working "clubs" with small stages 2) Amplifiers that sound the absolute best in their pure form 3) Very big, full articulate sound! 4) Very pedal friendly
Club Amps are pedal friendly, simple, yet robust. If you play rock in a classic style we give you the basics that made the likes of Hendrix and Clapton great; they crunch when driven. If you play jazz we give you clarity and detail. If you shred, nothing will get lost. I want to repeat this....If you shred, nothing will get lost. If you are a country picker we can help you be detailed without being brittle. If you play the blues we've even got special transformers for that, for an earthy, smokey, bluesy timbre.
Most musicians use a pedal board these days. We think that's great, especially for overdrive. Adding more gain to a tube amp adds noise. We don't like noise. A Club Amp will let you sound your best?
Modern amps tend to push "features"while the accountants work to cut costs. At Club Amps it's SONICEXCELLENCE that rules; END OF STORY!
The same great sounds as original Club Classics, Series II offers some new features as requested by you, our customers. One important feature is clean, "super-clean" and "crunchy" options in the same amp. For details on Series II please check out the "products" page.
A Series II Club Classic Head. Simple elegance.

Series II Club Classic 1x12 combo. This is what the editors of Guitar Player tested for their review.

Club Amps take classic amp tone to a higher level. Rock musicians get a "rock solid" bottom end (never muddy) and articulate clarity even in overdrive. Our blues amps have a very special "smokey" blues timbre that's also great for classic rock, earthy country and many styles of jazz. For country artists we have great options for crisp, clean mids and highs with just a ton of punch, yet without being brittle. And, for "clean" and jazz a Club Amp with the standard output transformer offers sweet, rich, smooth articulate clarity. There's nothing "standard" about it. It sets the standard.
As you can see from the pictures, Club Amps aren't fancy. The focus is on being musical, strong, reliable and timeless. You won't make a fashion statement with a Club Amp, you'll make great music. Of course, simple elegance and "classic black" are always in fashion. Club Amps are designed and built for the club and studio musician.
About this website
We build amps as our primary mission. You could say our permanent
web site is still under construction, but our priority is on building
amps. This site will be replaced at some point with a more
sophisticated site. Because everything we make is to
customer criteria the normal "shopping carts" of e-commerce don't work
very well. We're working on a best way to enter orders with custom
criteria using an online shopping cart. When we figure that out or when
we start offering "standard products" that's probably when we'll create
a new site.
This site contains a lot of information, perhaps more than many musicians would want. But, over the years we've found that our happiest clients are the ones who have put some serious thought and research into what they "really" want. If you are not familiar with our company or our product I encourage you to start by taking a look at the "Products" page. Check out the product page first, then take a careful look at the About Us page and "Why Club Amps?" We've been building amps for a very long time. We make a really great amp. I hope we'll be building an amp for you soon.
