The Ameson RS Tube 50 Amplifier
 

"This is simply the most beautiful sounding valve amp I have ever heard. Its warm big sound compares favourably with the vintage amps of the 1940's and 50's but with a much higher output suitable for today's musical situations. It is very light and compact weighing in at only 17 pounds. Being completely hand-assembled and wired, it is not cheap, but why would you ever need to buy another amp again". - Roy Sainsbury

"I am lucky enough to own both the Ameson RS 120 and the Ameson RS Tube 50 amps and both are superb. I have just completed recording a CD with trumpet great Bruce Adams and the engineers at the studio were absolutely bowled over by the sound of the amp. Please feel free to quote me" - Tony Marshall (Tony works with many world class jazz musicians such as Warren Vache, Scott Hamilton, Kenny Baker, etc. His brilliant new recording with Bruce Adams is due to be released soon.)
