Juke Amps

Juke Amps was created by G. R. Croteau after he was asked what he would consider the perfect amp.  He said he would take everything he loved about each individual amp and merge them into one.  This was in 1988.  juke-ampsThe next year, he designed the first Warbler amp.  However, it wouldn’t be until 1994 that he would start work on prototype amps for mass production.  In 1997, he had finalized the production style of the Warbler, and in 1998, Juke Amplification was born.  The company produced three different amps that year: the Juke 112, the 210, and the 810.  Today, the company continues to make single channel tube amps that feature Gibson, Fender, and Ampeg style equalization.  They have five major brands of amps:

The 810/812 coda harmonica amp features either 35 watts or 22 watts of power.  These amps are class AB and may be either fixed bias or cathode bias.

The Warbler, that classic amp that started it all, is still available today as well.  It comes in a variety of different sizes and styles.  While this is one of the more expensive amps you’ll find, it’s certainly worth it.

The Coda line of amps use 6L6 or 5881 tubes and come in both 18W pentode / 6W triode or 30W pentode / 10W triode.

The Vamp is a Class A style Cathode biased amp that uses a 6V6 split-load inverter.  It features Weber ceramic speakers.

Finally, the Rave line of amps is a Class A Cathode biased amp that uses EL84 tubes and a longtail inverter.  It also features Weber ceramic speakers.
