Elmwood Amps is, in comparison to some other amp companies, fairly new. It was formed in 1998, so they company has just recently celebrated its ten year anniversary. However, Jan Alm, the founder, knows amps. When he created Elmwood Amps in Sweden, he did so with the goal of creating guitar tube amps that were simply the best ever. He planned to produce amps that had incredibly sound without losing any functionality. He and his staff, which includes Peter Samzelius and Erland Palsson, believe that they have succeeded beyond their wildest imagination.

An engineer and music fan, Jan works for hours on each new amp that Elmwood introduces. He isn’t just happy with a good amp—he strives to make his amps the absolute best.

To meet this goal, Jan and his team set out to take the best parts of various boutique amps and examine what made them so good. They turned all the original concepts and ideas over and over, looking to see why they worked and if they could be improved upon. Once all of this research was done, they had the tools necessary to create the Elmwood line of amps, amps that are the best of all worlds.

Elmwood amps are built using the highest quality parts, and each one is tested and must pass a rigorous approval process before it is shipped to the customer. This ensures that all Elmwood amps will provide great response, tone, and be as versatile as you need them to be. While Elmwood amps are designed to be played live on the stage, they work just as well as a practice amp or for recording.

Elmwood produces a number of different heads, racks, combos, and speakers. All of them can be purchased from various locations, including Elmwood dealers and direct from the company itself.

The Elmwood Modena 90 Boutique Amp is the more powerful version of the Modena M60. This awesome amp builds on the M60’s functionality and design but adds more wattage for that extra power. The Modena 90 includes two channels, each with its own EQ and both with drive functionality. While the M60 is, obviously, only 60 watts of power, the Modena 90 provides 90 watts of clear sound. Because of its high output, it actually uses a special transformer and has a heat fan on the back.

The two channels provide many different options. On channel one, you’ve got your volume, treble, bass, and middle, while channel two features these four plus gain. Drive is available on both and can be controlled with a footswitch. The Modena features two KT88 poweramp tubes that use higher anode voltage than those found on the M60. For Preamp tubes, you’ll find four ECC83 tubes.

Need some output options? The Modena 90 has 1x4 ohm, 1x8 ohm, 2x8 ohm, and 2x16 ohm outputs on the back. You also get jacks for send and return and two footswitch jacks. The amp also has edge and fat knobs to give you precision control, a mix knob for Fx Loop, and more.

All of this comes in a 17 kg bundle that will only cost you about £2000 new or £1800 used. For more, check out Elmwood’s official website at http://www.elmwood.se/.
