A modern solution to an old problem
A modern solution to an old problem
I started Old'sCool amps in 2015 after building a (kit) amp for a friend. I had become aware of the boutique guitar amp movement and became interested in learning more about how the amps that I had been playing for decades, actually work. While recuperating from health problems, I begain my research and proceeded to build what is now approaching 100 amplifiers, almost 10 years later. All amps are built by my hands only. Ron Jinks

A modern solution to an old problem
Power scaling by London Power, is the best way to get output tube overdrive at a reasonable volume for the non-Master volume amps of vintage design. With our unique Master volume, or not, that is not post or pre phase inverter, the same characteristics of sustain and increased harmonic overtones can be achieved while maintaining dynamics that can only be associated with the classic amps of yesterday, at any volume.
