Built from 1996 to present, the Fender Hot Rod DeVille 2×12 combo amp delivers 60 tube watts through a pair of twelve inch speakers. Here we are looking at a Hot Rod DeVille III – the current version is IV.
Designed and built to meet the needs of working Jazz Guitarists, the Henriksen JazzAmp quickly established itself as solid and reliable with great tone and a huge amount of volume in a small package!
The Vox AC30c2 is one of the latest production versions of the classic Vox twin-twelve, 30 watt tube amplifier and delivers bright, clear chime and overdrive at respectable volumes.
The Kavanjo Banjo Pickup System is a magnetic humbucking pickup suspended from a customized mylar head. This is the newest and we believe the most effective way to amplify the banjo, while maintaining the instruments authentic characteristics.

Here’s something that brings back memories – a Fender Vibrolux Reverb amp in Blackface, dating to 1965 and with original transformers and Jensen speakers.
For years, it was very common to see the Fender Super Reverb on stages everywhere. Pushing 45 watts through a 4×10 speaker set, the Super Reverb packaged everything most players needed. These amps project well, and can be loud and clean. The Super Reverb was the 1963 evolution of the Super amp line that first appeared in 1947.

Brian – the guitar is home! No problems, it took a long time to leave Canada (strikes I presume), but then it was fast, no problems with customs agencies and all. It’s really a great guitar, exactly what I was expecting, it suits perfectly to my playing.
Thanks!

Hello Grant. Just want to let you know that my banjolele arrived on Monday afternoon, so the postal strike didn’t hold it up too long. I’m delighted with the quality craftsmanship of the instrument and I was right that the shorter fingerboard is much easier for my 81 year old hands! So, here’s a shot of me with it in my studio with my dog Dusty laying beside me. Now just to harden up my fingertips and loosen up my finger joints! (Dusty loves it too!)
Thanks for everything.
Best. John.
