The idea behind the amp is to produce something that captures the rich, classic tones of amps from the past, whilst having the flexibility demanded by the modern player, but without the incredibly high price tag normally associated with products of this quality. To make amplifiers that are hand made and will last a lifetime by employing traditional construction methods using only quality components.
The Harlequin was designed to be used in the studio, where it records superbly, and for home use, where you can get a proper tone in your living room without being too loud.
All of us involved in the company are guitarists and our amplifiers are designed by ear, not oscilloscopes. We always thought that guitarists have a better ear for guitar sounds than your archetypal electronics engineer. This approach to amp design has given us what we feel is most definitely a benchmark tone.
We hope you enjoy playing through the Harlequin. It is very easy to use and is packed with totally authentic class A tones, clean and dirty. Being just 6 watts you can drive the output stage really hard. HAVE FUN!!!
