TubeGlow Amplification is dedicated to providing vintage voiced amplifiers using only premium, vintage style components. Your instrument doesn’t use a pine body, a plywood neck, and a vinyl covered fret board to deliver the sound you want. Neither should an amplifier. Our hand built hardwood cabinets resonate and enhance the tone and only get better with time; no torn or peeling vinyl covering that muffles sound. No soft pulpous woods or wood by-products are used. In fact, you can hear the difference in volume, clarity and tone that only a hardwood cabinet can provide. All electronics are the finest available without a transistor, microprocessor, or printed circuit in sight. All amps are hand made using just the right mix of vintage style and premium components. A custom made .090 aluminum chassis is used on all combo models to minimize weight and eliminate internal wiring reactance with the chassis. All hardware is stainless steel. Screws are hex head cap type. Nuts are self locking elastic for secure mounting of components. No more lost mounting hardware! All internal wiring is done with pure copper, silver plated, Teflon insulated solid core wire to insure superior transfer of signals for maximum detail. All components, except vacuum tubes and speakers, have a limited lifetime warranty. Tubes and speakers are warranted for ninety days. TubeGlow amplifiers are available in three distinct models to fit the needs of the most discriminating players.

Anyone who has had the opportunity to play a great guitar though a cranked up classic tube amp from the '40s, '50s, or '60s knows that the sound, feel, articulation, and control just can't be beat. Notes can tickle or DECAPITATE depending on your intent and your individual playing style. The great amps amplify your character, not just your volume. Dynamic sound like this is a product of the natural characteristics of tubes, speakers, and archaic circuits being pushed to their limits. The down side is that tone like this can only be experienced on stage in big clubs or in sound proofed studios, due to the massive volume produced. Not to mention the fact that most vintage amps are now collectible antiques that typically need expensive restoration and possibly upgrading to be made blast-worthy... nobody wants to blow up their piece of history!
The dilemma of getting responsive guitar tone at less than earthquake volume levels has brought about the production of master volume controls, simulators, emulators, high gain preamps, digital tube models, and a tidal wave of distortion boxes. These all have their uses but they still aren't (and can't ever be!) the real thing. Regardless of how much 'EQ', excess gain, digital hoo-ha, or preamp trickery one employs, the fundamental tone of ANY amp is really determined by the dynamic response (or lack of) of the amp's power supply and output stage. Like your finger plucks the guitar string, your amp's power supply and output stage essentially 'plucks' the speaker. It is this primal interplay that dictates the basis from which your notes are sculpted. That is why old-style amps with their tube rectifiers, loose unregulated power supplies, 'inefficient' biasing schemes, and uncluttered preamp circuits sound so juicy and complex. They have a non-linear response that varies according to YOUR touch. The resulting natural 'whole amp' distortion is definately where its at ...
