Fat One Amps

Fat One Musical Instruments believes electric guitarists can have great tone. Our amplifiers are high quality, hand-built tube amplifiers replicating or reusing some of the best loved amplifier designs of all time.

The Fat One Amplifier product line includes replicas of legendary vintage amplifiers from the ‘50s and ’60s, original designs inspired by legendary amplifiers and custom amplifiers that realize guitarists tone and amplifier dreams.

Fat One Amplifiers DO use the best available materials and parts.

Fat One Amplifiers DO NOT use overpriced or overhyped materials, parts or brand-name components which have all the name and none of the value of the originals.

HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTS

Fat One Amplifiers are hand built and include select high quality components such as Heyboer, Mercury Magnetics or Hammond transformers, Mallory capacitors, Belton tube sockets, Alpha potentiometers, Cliff and Switchcraft jacks, and Carling switches. All Fat One amplifiers are wired point to point to enable future modifications, just like those legendary amplifiers built by Leo and Jim.

Fat One Replicas use period correct finger jointed pine or high quality birch plywood cabinets that are custom made. We even use cloth covered wire!

Fat One Originals and Extension Cabinets proudly include Weber speakers, providing the best built and best sounding US-made vintage replica speakers and vintage inspired speakers currently available. Special orders for other brands can be made.

Fat One Amplifiers are equipped with high quality tubes from manufacturers such as JJ Electronic, Sovtek, Svetlana and/or Electro-Harmonix.
