Please note, this is the 2011 spec Evil Robot Amplifier. The difference to the newer 2012 spec Evil Robot Handwired amp is that the 2011 has a fixed 18w output stage instead of a variable output stage. If you don't need a variable output, the 2011 is a considerable saving over the newer model. If you do need the variable output power, check out the 2012 model by clicking here.

When millions of people watched the Fretted Americana vintage guitar videos, hosted by legendary guitarist Phil X, almost everyone was clamouring to find out "what's that tone?!". Phil X's amplifier of choice in those vids was a vintage Tonemaster Troubador 214 combo: a rare late 50s tube amp based on the Magnatone 213 combo.
Phil X, Fretted Americana and boutique designer John Kasha got together and bought the old Tonemaster back to life in modern form. The Evil Robot Custom 214 was born!
This USA hand made, point-to-point amp is the pinnacle of the Evil Robot sound with no compromises made in the search for the holy grail of tone! This 2011 spec evil robot amp features a fixed 18w power output (the newer 2012 model features a scalable output stage).The Evil Robot amplifier is aggressive, bluesy and raucous all in one!
Here's what Evil Robot say about the Evil Robot Combo
Reminiscent of the original Tonemaster Troubador 214 amp that came onto the market in 1959 and immediately sat set the standard for rock n' roll, blues and R&B tone, with incredibly smooth harmonics and sweet Class A tone has once again been resurrected from the dead.
The EVIL*ROBOT amp was carefully reconstructed from the ground up paying attention to the classic 50s look and electronics that have made this amp one of the most sought after tone-machines for many artists over the years.
Recording artist Phil X who is the host of Fretted Americana Inc's hit classic guitar show on YouTube has demonstrated this amp with classic guitars dating as far back as the 30s to the present with hundreds of videos playing rock classics. Hundreds of comments came in talking about how great Phil's amp sounded and where to buy this amp that is no longer in production.
So Fretted Americana Inc. and Kasha Amplifiers teamed up to make this amp available once more. Named Evil Robot, a clone of Phil X's original Tonemaster with additional spices from Kasha' Amplifiers. The Evil Robot can be used in the home, studio live with full bands and is perfect for small venues.
