" Craigamps are all designed from scratch, and are handwired. Full Boutique range made with Highend components." This quote comes from the Facebook Group page of CraigAmps. The cool thing about Craig Amps are that the designer/builder are on of the members on GuitarForum! He is one of us!!! I have been fortunte by having the oppertunity to play on the lastest edition to come out of the CraigAmp workshop, the "BRIT-15R". It is a 15 watt head, one channel, interactive bass and treble, master volume, cut and reverb. Handwired, full valve, covered in brown tolex!!! This is a work of art! The Craig was on top of a Fender Cab (not sure what fender cab it was) with a MIA Fender Tele as our weapon of choice to put it through it's paces. I was truely impressed with this little 15 watt head, the truest, fullest valve tones that you can imagine. It was so responsive with beautiful clean tones and a diffined "overdrive" when the volume was turnerd up. I imagine it was also partly the Tele's bright sound coming through and keeping the tone quite clean even at louder volumes. Unfortunately I had to leave but after I left the volume whent up even more and apperntly that was when the real magic happened. I would like to play through it again when I have more time, and to give you guys a better review. Soooooo, I have organized that when Sean comes down to visit that we go and test this beauty again, then we can test it with Sean's Ratcliff strat that he bought from Alan and my SG. That will probably be the most comprehensive test that we can do on it with 2 guitars. Would also like to run a couple effects trough it then. I will try and get video clip then too. Oh, and before you ask, CraigAmps are busy with a cab to go with the Brit-15R head. And no, I'm not the designer/builder, i was just the lucky fish to be one of the first guys to play through this amp. Not sure if I may menion the builder/designer's username? For photo's check the FB page!

Some good news for all the Capetonians!!!

This awesome amp is coming down to Cape Town! I just love this amp, I think I better start saving because my little Fender just doesn't cut it any more after hearing this.

This is the GXP:

There is more pics on Craig Amps face book page: http://www.facebook.com/craigamps

15Watt class A/B 6V6 powered head with an EF86 pentode preamp.

This amp will be at Andreas Barth's Guitar Experience, http://guitarexperience.net/.

This is a model exclusively available from Guitar Experience and that is why the amp is called the GXP. Check the their website for contact details and go and play this amp.

ps. I'm not associated/affiliated/indorsed/etc. by Guitar Experience or Craig Amps, but I wish I was!!!! ?
