Yo!! Just received the @sunn_amps Beta Mini from their first production run. My old dusty ass no longer needs to lug around a 90 pound amp, this is less than 4 pounds. Wowowow. #sunnamps #sunn #gear #guitaramp #bassamp
Yesterday was subtle textures.
Today’s a different story.
Merle was in helping us work through the amp wall, so naturally…
we put the SLO-30 on the bench.
Running it through (for quick testing) the Orange cab loaded with 4×10s—
EVMs and Sunn Magnas (Altecs).
Tight.
Fast.
Doesn’t give you anything you didn’t earn.
We’re even kicking around a tube swap—
5881 → 7581…
just to see how far it wants to go.
Some amps are forgiving.
This isn’t one of them.

Slab batch 2 enclosures are scheduled for production in mid-late April and components have all been ordered. So I should be able to start assembly in the beginning of May. I'll update when I have a firm release date.
I haven't made a video in a while. This is one Slab plugged into the Matamp 1224 with built in spring reverb through a 2x12 with Celestion Greenbacks mic'ed with the Beyerdynamic M160 and M201.
Some of our favorite manufacturers of guitar related equipment. It’s all HEAVY ☝🏼#doommetal #sunnmodelt #fuzz #sludgedoom #hiwatt

You asked and I listened! This one is for the bass players!
This is a bass specific Sepulcrum which features the OD/HM-2 circuit supplemented by an additional clean blend. Hope to have it on the site by next week and record a proper demo of that release.
My latest: MODEL 1. What makes this amp different from anything I’ve done yet is that it features one of my Vintage Console Boosts built into the front end. So you get a Cinemag step up transformer and a boost at the flip of a switch. NOS RCA 7189’s, a 12AT7 phase inverter tube and a NOS 5879 in V1…All built from scratch in a Hammond AO-39 chassis out of a B3 organ. This is a one-of-a-kind prototype that I’ll be selling directly with or without the cab (will ship). Shout out to Rye @thepicaspeaks for the awesome cabs! HMU if interested 👊⚡️ Happy Friday.
It’s back

The very talented @kirestaf from @loatheasone ripped into the @sunn_amps Beta Lead Combo during their Southern California tour stop late last year.
His awesome Gibson Flying-V is going straight into the amp producing that tone.
No pedals required for that crunchy fuzz 🤘

“A great new tool to use at my recording sessions!!! Lived up to every thing I had heard about it!!! Mixed with an SVT-3 Pro & SVT-810 cab is what I use as a recording amp, we really liked the 115 simulator - very B-15 type of vibe!!!
I’m super picky about tone...” - Ampeg artist Sean McNabb (@seanmcnabbofficial ) on the SGT-DI.

Link in our bio to check out the SGT-DI.
In my Sunn Beta Mini post, I included the aside that 4558 op amps power the Tubescreamer (true), TEAC 144 (also true), and King of Tone (false). I'm a big fan of the KoT sound, whether it's an original AnalogMan, the svelte @corioliseffectspedals Hail to the King, the accessible @guptech King of Crow (bird on it), or the powerful @chasebliss Brothers AM. I don't know how I had misremembered the op amp!
