GUITAR AMPS - CUSTOM BUILDING

I need help!

Since my (formal) retirement from the Electronics business back 10 years or so ago I have been designing, building, and selling a series of CUSTOM PRO GUITAR AMPLIFIERS... and related items.

Up until now this has all be done on a fairly informal basis... BUT... I am now at the point of needing to (somewhat) back away from all of this as there are other priorities... and I am struggling with the time, stamina, and application required to take on any new builds.

SO... I am now looking to engage with someone that might be interested in picking up my pursuits... either privately or commercially.
I am very much open as to how this might happen... I have an extensive inventory of schematics, designs, PCB's, parts, and the like.

If this is of interest to you please message me and I am happy to give you my mobile number and/or email address for further discussions.

A few (of many) random pics attached as a general guide to the sort of stuff I have been building.

FYI... I am based in Perth, Western Australia. Someone local would be preferred, but, with the technology that we have available nowadays more distant options would likely be feasible.

Hey! KILLER amps and designs, very original, very good looks.
"They sell all by themselves"
I would be a present from the Gods for anybody to be able to get his hands on this and start a new Company or endeavour with so much "start up" job already done for him.
It would save YEARS. And money and teething troubles.
Guess you would also transfer your current customer database, to which they would later add on.
This is similar to buying a working Company, ready to keep earning money  "tomorrow".
Hope some smart guy jumps in to profit from all the groundwork you already did.

Ach, shame, I will be moving to Perth 2-3 years from now (my missus is from Armadale, but we are currently living in Norway). It's a pity that small businesses like yours are folding up one after the other. Hope you'll end up finding someone to take the torch, mate :)

Do any of the amps have digital circuitry or Switch Mode Power Supplies which would require testing for emissions ?

They would need to have suitable skills and the equipment to do the complete build of the items - PCBs, Enclosures, Labelling, etc... and then final testing and QA.

These units are relatively simple... but, nonetheless... use some unusual designs to achieve excellent results whether used in "Clean or Crunch" modes... and are comparable to many larger, heavier, unreliable and expensive valve-based equivalents.

I have an extensive inventory of schematics, mechanical designs, PCB's, and parts... albeit that they may need to be "upgraded" to suit quantity construction rather than the (largely) one-offs that I have been doing.

I can also offer support and mentoring to get the process started... and then, potentially, on an as required, on-going basis.

I´m impressed by the designs and the looks, congratulations.

This is a DREAM opportunity for somebody wanting to build up a small Factory, either a Tech who wants to take the next step or an investor, who wants to multiply his money and hires a Tech to do the soldering and assembly, he takes care of sales (and collecting money ;) ).

The amps can be assembled and sold as-is in those futuristic head-shells or rehoused in more conventional ones, his choice.

The see-through illuminated front panels look breathtaking on any stage (or Album cover ;) ), of course conventional punched and painted (or polished) Aluminum can also be used.
