The Allen V-18 Handwired Boutique Amp has been nicknamed the Sweet Spot, and there’s a reason.  This handwired amp, which is a boutique version of the Princeton Reverb amp made by Fender, is one of the best small amps you’ll find.  Its sound is much fuller and bigger than the Princeton, making it much better for playing larger gigs.  The Sweet Spot comes in several different sizes: a 1x10 combo, 1x12 combo, 1x15 combo, and a 2x12 combo.  The 1x10 combo features an Eminence Copperhead speaker.

The JUKE Warbler 1210 Boutique Guitar Amp may not get the attention it deserves by the music community.  Why?  Well, part of the reason JUKE amps like the Warbler aren’t recognized as the amazing amps that they are is because creator Gary Croteau, how hand-builds every amp himself, is not focused on marketing or promoting his amps.  Instead, he spends his time truly working on creating amazing, outstanding amps that produce clear, powerful tones.  While this means that few high profile names use the JUKE Warbler 1210, those who have discovered these amps realize how magnificent they are.

The JUKE Rave 112 boutique amp is a great amp for just about anyone. This class A amp has quite the following in the music world, with some players even going so far as to say they’ve used the Rave 112 for over 40 years and still wouldn’t replace it! The main reason for this is because the Rave 112 produces some amazing tones. It also offers three knob reverb and some very rich tremolo and vibrato tones. It has a single channel that features “Golden Voice” pitch shifting vibrato and can produce “Concert Hall” type sideband reverb. The amp’s great master volume control is another plus. (more...)

The Bad Cat Classic Cat boutique amp is one of those great amps targeted toward the "less is more" crowd.  It’s a 20-watt amp that features one volume knob, one tone control, and one Celestion Vintage 30 twelve inch speaker, and it’s classified as a Class A amp.  The speaker is custom made to specs created by Bad Cat’s top amp designers.  Dual 6V6's and an Accutronics reverb tank round out the main stats on this great no-nonsense amp.

The Carr Rambler 2x12 boutique amp produces some of the best, clean tones of any amp.  In fact, some players have even gone on record as saying that they’ve never heard another amp produce such great tremolo or reverb.  The Carr Rambler is one of Carr Amplifier’s most popular amps, even today, thanks to its ability to deliver some great, classic American tones, its clean headroom, and its solid bass response.

Looking for a fun boutique amp that has a bit of personality to it?  The JUKE Coda 210 boutique amp is an amp that does more than just get the job done—its fun colors and overall look make it more than just a piece of equipment.  This little boutique amp comes in a number of colors, including emerald, plum, and garnet, that you just don’t see on other amps.  This makes the Coda 210 visually very different, although when it comes to delivering sounds, the amp is just as great as other, less interesting looking amps.
