Garnet Guitar Amplifiers, Information of Interest about tube amps made in Winnipeg.
"Gar" Gillies has been in the music and electronic business all his working life. In his early years he made his living at radio repairs, but even then, his heart was in the audio end of the radio business. Many of the local night clubs in which Gar played trombone, were equipped by him with their first P.A. system (it was later figured out that he did this because he wanted to sing and amplify his muted trombone). Some of the local jazz guitar players were also amplified for the first time. Years passed, and along came Rock & Roll. In the mid '60's, after working with and studying the needs of these new young artists, the Garnet Amplifier Company evolved from the T.V. and radio repair business. The three partners were Gar himself, and his two sons, Russell and Garnet.
The first P.A. system and amplifiers that the company built were for a popular Winnipeg group then called Chad Allen & the Expressions (soon to change their name to the Guess Who?). At that time, Russell was the manager and "roadie" of this struggling group. Many of the other local and Western Canadian groups liked the new sounds and power of the amps, and followed suit by ordering amplifiers and P.A. equipment.
By the early '70's, Garnet was firmly established in most Canadian markets and had made strong inroads into America. All of the Garnet tube amps were designed by Gar Sr. Some of the more popular models were the PRO, REBEL, and BTO (big time operator) series. These three series all had two guitar heads and a suitably powered P.A. system. To follow the success of these lines, the popular PRO 200, PRO 400, and PRO 600 all tube heads were introduced followed by three DEPUTY models, produced as combo amps and heads. One piece combo amps would include the BANSHEE, GNOME, L'il ROCK, MACH 5, REVOLUTIONS I, II, and III,ENFORCER, and SESSIONMAN. The Herzog, H-zog, and two stand alone reverb units were all tube effects devices designed by Gar in the late '60's and early '70's ...

My name is David King. I am the new owner of Naylor Engineering. I purchased Naylor Engineering in 1999 and moved the business from Detroit to Dallas, where I live.
My career includes 20 years of experience in Audio Engineering and Satellite Communications. I spent 5 years in the audio recording industry in Los Angeles and then became involved in satellite communications. During the past 1 5 years, I have installed and/or operated satellite systems in 31 countries and have broadcast numerous events.
During the past three years, I have set up the manufacturing facilities and have perfected the assembly techniques that are required to build the amps and cabinets to the original Naylor specifications. In July of 2002, the first amp was built, a Super-Club 38™ Head. In fact, Joe Naylor himself played through that amp during the 2002 Guitar Show in Arlington, Texas and Joe said, “You got it right.”
A number of individuals and dealers have called or e-mailed asking, “Are the amps built the same way as before?” The answer is YES! As part of my purchase of Naylor Engineering, I received all design and engineering specifications, actual working models of all the amps, component layout boards, all the assembly jigs (including the wood working jigs), the full line of cabinets which were fully assembled, lots of component inventory and other information relevant to the assembly of the amps and cabinets ...
