Direct reviews from a few Pierson Amplifier owners: |
From Gary S. Ludo: The amp is great. Its better than I expected. The tone is warm and smooth and the amp is very quiet. I was surprised by the great bottom end which I wouldn't have expected from an 8" speaker. The overdrive distortion is a classic type of sound that's very recognizable and is really nice because the volume is within reasonable limits. Frankly, I don't know how you do it. Its worth every penny. ........I appreciate you making it for me. After I get some more time on it with my 72 Telecaster I'll write back with some additional comments. Gary S. Delaware From Tom Burgar Ludo: Yes, the Champ arrived late yesterday afternoon and I unpacked it last night. Everything appears okay. I really like the varnished tweed finish, it's nice. I was never a big fan of Tolex. Was only able to play for a few minutes last night, using a Stratocaster with a maple neck/fingerboard and Texas Special pickups. The amp has a nice smooth tone. I'm not an advanced player or a pro or anything like that. I haven't really played a lot of amps (I've only owned 2 before this one) so I can't really compare your Champ to other amps. My first impression was it reminded me of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" or "Rave On"; or perhaps Marshall Crenshaw's "Rockin' Around in NYC" - which is great of course. Rob Received the amp today. Fender doesn't make 'em like they used to; however, I am grateful that folks like yourself care enough to put out a righteous product. Take Care, Tom Burgar (Texas) From John Butcher Hello Ludo, The Champ arrived last night in excellent condition. I plugged in the tubes and played for about an hour. I couldn't be happier. The sound was stunning. Very rich with great harmonic detail. Thanks for the great set of NOS tubes, they really sing. The sound has a real 3D sound stage and the bottom end is big. I was surprised to get this much sound out of a 8" speaker. Ludo everything I had heard about your work was true. Thanks for building a great amp! Here is my highest compliment, please send me the price of a vintage style Deluxe including shipping. I Will send a check today. Please include your mailing address. Many Thanks John Butcher James Kettner February 2004 Awesome! I got the amp today and it sounds just great! Thanks for all your help. It works perfectly at 220v. This little guys is a tone monster. I'm surprised it's as loud as it is- and with lots of headroom. The 8" speaker really cranks out some bass response and I found that on 8-9 (out of 12) it really rocks. I'll play around more tomorrow when I have time and try recording some. I'm impressed so far to say the least. The amp is very quiet. I played it for about an hour and a half yesterday and loved the feel. Picking dynamics and guitar volume/tone really interact nicely with this amp, probably even better than my THD Univalve. Maybe that's because I can crank it up with no hotplate. It almost seems like there is a reverb in this little baby, and I was playing in my padded wall studio. Compliments to you work. Today if I have time I'm going to record some clips and post a review on the www.musicplayer.com forum. Thanks again Ludo! Ciao, James |
