In the early 2000s, the company worked with Bruce Egnater of Egnater Amplification to create the MTS (Modular Tube System) series of guitar amplifiers. These involve a single amp head consisting of the power amp and part of a preamp, and slots in the head (one for the RM20 head and combo, two for the RM50 head and combo and RM22 head, and 3 for the RM100 head and RM100C combo, and 12 for the ...
The Dirty Shirley/Twin Sister is the company's take on the tone of 1960s and '70s British classic rock. Friedman produces smaller wattage versions of each amp—the Pink Taco and Little Sister, respectively. [4] In 2021, Friedman released the BE-Mini, a solid state, low-wattage amp based on the BE-100.

A hybrid amplifier involves one of two combinations of tube and solid-state amplification. It may have a tube power amp fed by a solid-state pre-amp circuit, as in most of the original MusicMan amplifiers. Alternatively, a tube preamplifier can feed a solid-state output stage, as in models from Kustom, Hartke, SWR, and Vox. This approach ...
This meant a solid-state diode added additional distortion to the signal path, akin to adding a distortion pedal. As such the split channel JCM800s were the highest gain Marshalls yet built – "When they were first released, many players were shocked (some were even put off) by its bright, intense distortion – far more than any other amp of ...
The range included one small tube-driven bass amp, the Bassman 20. There were also some solid-state amplifiers using the II moniker, such as the Harvard Reverb II. Other solid-state amps produced during the Rivera era included the Yale Reverb, Studio Lead, Stage Lead, London Reverb, Montreux, and a solid-state issue of the Showman.
The original Tube Screamer circuit was created in 1979 by Nisshin engineer Susumu Tamura, who wished to design a pedal that better emulated the effect of playing an overdriven tube amp. As Boss owned the patent for solid-state asymmetrical clipping, Tamura was forced to use a symmetrical clipping design, and rejected several op amps for being ...
The SG line consisted of "hybrid" designs (solid-state preamp, tube power amp) for guitar and bass amplification and "all-transistor" amplifiers (self-powered monitors and powered mixers). The amplifiers were most likely developed using Standel resources in coalition with Randall's head design engineer Gary Sunda.
Electro-Harmonix was founded by rhythm and blues keyboard player Mike Matthews in October 1968 in New York City with $1,000. [3] He took a job as a salesman for IBM in 1967, but shortly afterwards, in partnership with Bill Berko, an audio repairman who claimed to have his own custom circuit for a fuzz pedal, he jobbed construction of the new pedal to a contracting house and began distributing ...
