Gypsyfolk Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 I see Anderson’s are importing milkman amps. Has anyone heard the bass half & half? Very expensive but they look really nice!!! Quote

Mottlefeeder Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Why would anyone bring an expensive, unknown brand into the UK and hope to make a profit from it? David Quote

BigRedX Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 It's a tube pre-amp with a class D power amp in "retro" styling with minimal controls. Tiny photos on the web site don't show any details, video demonstrates just one muffled farty sound which I supposed some people might like, but not me. Quote

You could say that about many boutique products. Some such are no longer really boutique and have become mainstream to an extent. Given that the industry standard for class D heads seems to be an ICEpower module with a preamp in front of it in a fetching looking metal box, the cost of manufacture probably isn't great, so markup is likely to be enormous.

Pretty much what I thought - for the same money or less, you can have a well known brand with no resale problems, or an unknown with the problems that might bring. David Quote
tauzero Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 "Its the most transparent and exciting sounding hybrid amplifier on the market." Even if one is to forgive the missing apostrophe, surely this is self-contradictory. If it's transparent, then it can't be colouring the sound, so it can't be exciting sounding as that implies it's doing something to the sound. 1 Quote
BigRedX Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 The bass sound in the video is hardly "transparent". Quote

Gypsyfolk Posted August 10, 2023 Author Posted August 10, 2023 Some valid points of view. I think they are known amongst the guitar community. Just wondered what they actually sounded like. My usual amp is a streamliner which is probably pretty similar, just a lot less £ Quote
