AIRSPEED AMPS

Igniting your
Inspiration.

Introducing the Airspeed guitar amplifier system. Designed and custom-built in the USA, with a focus on innovative design, expert craftsmanship and uncomprimising audio quality. Our amps were conceived by guitar players, built by engineers and finished by artisans. Airspeed amps are unlike any other guitar amp you've ever seen or heard before.

It starts with the finest componets yielidng a tube-driven, vintage tone through renowned Celestion® speakers. Add unique and intelligent innovation that includes our Circuit-to-Speaker™ technology and our Performace Projection Design™ system. Then accentuate it all with elegant exterior design elements like exotic wood finishings and carbon fiber.

The result is a line of elite boutique amps in a class by themselves that truly bring out the best in those that play them.


TONE

The crunch and boost channels instantly remind you of the tight driving tone of Angus Young, the evocative sounds of Eddie Van Halen, and masterful range and overdrive of Jimi Hendrix.

Switch over to the clean channel and your tone gives way to sweet crisp highs, warm mids and solid lows reminiscent of Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson and Eric Clapton. Add some sweet tube reverb and you're back in the years when classic rock was king.

INNOVATION

What is Circuit-to-Speaker technology? Basically, the relationship between the circuit’s profile and the speaker chosen to optimize the circuit's intention. Airspeed amps have independent channel outputs routed to different speakers. That's really the only way to get true vintage clean/crunch sounds out of a single guitar amplifier system.

Our PPD™ System allows for speakers to be tilted back 15 degrees inside the cabinet for maxium sound projection. Why didn't anyone think of that before?

 

QUALITY

Custom made in the USA. Our goal is to deliver the best quality amp on the market today. We engineered the amp in the USA, we build it in the USA, and we use the best components to get the truest tone.

INSPIRATION

This is your sound, your tone - an extension of who you are. The look of your Airspeed Amp needs to reflect your personality and musical identity. We know how personal the experience of playing guitar is, and it's why we give you an exclusive selection of exotic wood trims to choose from in customizing your amplifier head and cabinet(s). We think your gear should reflect who you are and what moves you.

NEW! We've added carbon fiber panels to the mix! They look stunning. They amp is now ready for the paddock at any F1 race.

Swamp ash is found in the U.S. and Canada. It's known for its ability to yield sweet mid to high treble tones when using it for guitar bodies and necks. It also has warm yellow and tan rings that are very pronounced. The grain is distinct and irregular producing a wonderful finish.

Osage Orange ranges from golden to bright yellow in color, and almost always ages over time to a darker medium brown, primarily owing to exposure to UV light. Osage Orange is extremely durable, in spite of its mellowing color tendencies.

Butternut is a light wood. The lumber produced by Butternut trees can have some irregular, but visually-striking, grain patterns. Found throughout the Eastern United States, Butternut’s pleasant light tan coloration has a gorgeous pastel look, and certain selections can exhibit a pink or reddish tint.

African Rosewood is in the same genus species as Bubinga. The grain is generally straight but can be interlocked. Its texture is moderately fine. The heartwood color ranges from pink to reddish-brown, with purple or red streaks. The finish is rich, with a sheen that resembles the finest chocolate.

Redheart is characterized by a reddish base color that ranges from dull pink right up to rich, deep hues of red (with streaks and highlights diverse in colors from darker reds to yellows, oranges and even occasional purples). Grains range from irregular to wild, often with beautifully dramatic effect.

Cocobolo is one of the finest and most beautifully figured woods in the world. A very hard species, it is incredibly striking visually and exhibits brilliant colors with amazing black stripes. Oranges, reds, browns and blacks all swirl uniquely together as a trademark of this fantastic wood.

Carbon fiber is a strong, stiff, lightweight material that has the potential to replace steel and is popularly used in specialized, high-performance products like aircraft, race cars and sporting equipment...and now guitar amps! It also looks futuristic and really gives a product that hi-tech look.

What makes an Airspeed amp different? It's called Circuit-to-Speaker™ technology. Anyone who knows guitar amps knows that the speaker is the single most important component in the tone chain.
