Featured Amplifier Builder
Periodically I feature a particular amplifier manufacture that offers an exception amp. This is the line of amps that our Funky Frets store will carry in the spring and my personal choice for my jazz, rock and ukulele gigs. A combination of their MicroPro 200 Full-Range 8" and various extensions cabinets cover that a wide range of music styles.

Designed with electric archtop guitars in mind
20th Century Limited - The 20th Century Limited has a frequency bandwidth similar to
that of some of the most primitive tube amplifiers. With this in mind, it is easy to see that this amplifier
will not seem immediately familiar to many players. Athough designed with electric archtops in mind, the amp
works well with any electric guitar. Your guitar's own Tone control may be part of the equation more so than
with other amplifiers.

(from their site (Mark Baier)) -
In 1993, I set out to faithfully recreate the crown jewels among the many classic amplifiers developed by Leo Fender. The tweed amps of the late '50s defined the sound of rock and blues on vinyl and on stage, but they had also become increasingly scarce, and well beyond the reach of most working musicians.
Victoria Amplifier is recognized for having succeeded in recapturing the classic sound, design, and American craftsmanship embodied in the tweed line, while offering players a wide range of subtle and sometimes whimsical variations on a theme. Victoria circuits have always been completely faithful to the originals, using the correct capacitors, resistors, transformers, pots, and eyelet boards. Each pine cabinet is crafted in the precise manner of those built in the '50s, and covered in lacquered cotton tweed that is still woven today by the original manufacturer.
The results speak for themselves, and Victoria amplifiers continue to be acknowledged by players and critics alike as clearly superior in construction, durability, and tone among small-production, custom amplifiers built today at any price.

The DA5 amp combines portability and versatility. Today's guitarist wants a
palette of guitar tones to choose from, and this new amp delivers. Whether it's
a clean, shimmering guitar sound, raucous crunch, or full-tilt gain with
outrageous overdrive, the new DA5 has it, and all points in between.

Gerald Ross gives this portable amp a good review for the ukulele on the
Flea Market Ukulele Bulletin Board after
going through the Fender, Roland and Crate portable models.
