This Handwired Amp is exactly what players have been looking for more than 50 years and feature some of the world's most sought-after Tones. The Fillmore East Tone in a Head Version. Choose from a Duane setting or a Dickey setting.

This represents the first time anyone has offered a handwired amp based upon what made Legendary Players like Duane and Betts Famous. And the Tones don't stop there. Like the amps used on those special nights of recording, this new handwired amp shares the simplicity of operation and natural valve tones along with the correct modifications that make it stand out as one of the most iconic amp tones of all time.

The FE 44 Head

The FE Series delivers a roaring 44 watts of legendary Fillmore East-inspired tone, built around a handwired point-to-point circuit and housed in a rugged aluminum chassis. Designed for players chasing rich harmonic detail, blooming sustain, and dynamic touch response, the FE Series features a dual-channel design powered by a combination of 12AX7 and EF86 preamp tubes.

Depending on the model configuration, the power section can be equipped with classic KT66 tubes, but one of our favorite options is the custom mixed-tube configuration pairing a single KT66 with a KT77. The result is an incredibly rich, buttery midrange with enhanced harmonic complexity, tighter low end, and sustain that seems to hang in the air forever.

This unique tube combination adds a vocal quality to the amp that responds beautifully to both vintage-style cleans and saturated lead tones. For players seeking something beyond the ordinary, the optional KT66/KT77 pairing creates a feel and texture that is simply addictive.

Selectable Tone Stacks:

The Duane setting delivers the exact tone and response heard at the Fillmore East, based on the same modifications made to his amps for that performance.

The Dickey setting ranges from clean headroom to rich drive and sustain, capturing his Fillmore-era sound as well as the more modern tones from his later rigs.

The remaining positions expand the tonal range with Blackface Fender and Hendrix style tone stacks, along with carefully voiced in-between settings, allowing you to smoothly transition between classic circuits and dial in your own signature tone.

The HYBRID JBL D120 is Available with Extension Cabs

A contributing sonic factor in the amplifier is the way the sound of the Hybrid speaker captures that JBL D120 midrange and punch. The speaker starts with a Peavey Black Widow and 4-inch voice coil and we recone them with exact JBL D120 parts for a much better-voiced speaker. Better bottom-end clarity than original JBL D120’s. And they are 15% louder than and original D Series speaker at lower volumes. A perfect match! Vintage JBL D120’S are available when we have stock. (Please email for current inventory)

Optional Spring Reverb

Both models are available with true spring reverb. Reverb can be a really powerful musical spice. Most recordings include some kind of reverb to create dimension and space. Part of the Magic for the Fillmore Recordings was the Fillmore room itself. Whether you are playing a small gig or jamming at home or even the large venues, having onboard reverb adds to your overall tone.
