Wasn't there a forumite here who had access to a supplier/manufacturer in China who did tube amps? if I remember correctly, he (or erpats niya - can't remember) could source them from the mainland and sell them here.
Ano na kaya nangyari doon?
Bai, is the rep based in PRC? Doesn't look like they have dealers or similar outlets.

Si machinehead. I think he gave up, sobrang busy ata sya sa work. Sayang ano. Who wants to form a company, lets bring Chinese amps to the Philippines!

This amp is all-tube and more expensive than a vox pathfinder.
i thought you hated tube amps? Hahahaha! dad-a na dinhi dumaguete. I'm sure people are interested sad.
i hated my marshall AVT150HX, and some i tried that sounded really glassy, and mid peak'd, but i have the BLACKSTAR lol, ako nya dad on dgte when i have better ones para ma try ninu, pero useless if mu larga raka
ironically... the vox pathfinder ($120) is solid-state and sounded more tube-ish than the peavey royal. :D
i tested this thing but personally i thought only as a practice amp..the voicing wasnt my plate at all

Just sharing coz' i haven't found a solid-state amp that sounded as tube-like as the vox pathfinder.
I use it differently than others. You should try it with the boost switch engaged, gain at almost zero and set volume to your taste. I get more body, warmth, glassiness & tube-ish sound this way. ;)

it all depends with the design of the innards of the amp, but hopefully in the near future ill have to save for the following amps, im hopefully to own (getting a house which mean a basemeant for a studio)
1. coolidge 100 watt head <- dying to own this one 2. blackstar 100watt head 3. more chinese tube amps

i know what you mean caco, hey do you make pedals? have you made those mini amps before? just wondering
OT: have you tried a palmer speaker sim project?
looking forward to it really REALLY soon! I'm currently finishing my solidstate amplifier. Next to it would be the submini tube amp wither murder one, subzero or the latest one, the superfly. Still looking for a person who can ship the tubes I'm looking for. Contacting mahavishnu... :roll:
BTW, I still have to check out that pamler speaker sim you're telling about... :-D

Im not worried about the amp's prices shipped. Im worried about our postal bull crap here.
I'll keep you posted guys. Then we'll have an Official E-wave amp thread. And EB. LOL.

cool let me know when you do, i told my far east friends and they said possibly making me one, i highly doubt i would want one, i tested a zvex mini amp in wayne's guitarshop here..i cant find a reason to like it, the sound is not my thing,

yeah im stoked with this, i do have the tendency to record stuff like 2am in the morning so it would help me alot, told the same faf's they said probably next year..

Been looking at the schematics. Wow. It's even more complicated than a Blackheart.
Two 12ax7's, one of them used for the tonestack and an EL84. Power tube seems to be hot-biased. There's a send and return.
I see a "Marshall" coupling stage (470k in parallel with 470pf). So I guess it's not hard to guess what voicing this amp has.
Funny...the thing has a Baxandall type tone stack, but instead of pots, it's got fixed resistors. Like setting your tone controls to a certain setting and gluing them there. Tells me, the thing is ready to be modded to a TMB amp. It's got tonestack recovery already !
What's this ? The thing has Negative feedback ! Hmmm..Fender-ey smoothness...on a Marshall voiced amp ? Hmmm... that's easy to disable for more grit and gain.
Okay I'm sold. The thing has oodles of modding potential.

Hey BAMF, Im back! Yea I've been busy with work kaya di ko naasikaso itong mga KLD amps. But since I'm now in the trading business, I might just be able to bring these here. I'll try to work something out next year. Here's a a video demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n08Igw6Bu0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n08Igw6Bu0). I have to apologize for the lousy playing though. :-D
@bryan - E-Wave amps sound pretty good for the price. How can I get in touch with Mr. Chen? Thanks. :)
