The current issue Guitar & Bass magazine (October 2011, click here) contains a review of our Sir Charles 15 1 x 12 combination amplifier.
We managed to score 92%, with top marks for looks (19/20 for sound), so it seems we have got our priorities right!

After some experimentation and testing with Paul at Zilla Music who constructs our cabinetry, we are pleased to announce our new range of combination amplifiers.
All our amps are available in either 2 x 12″ or 1 x 12″ format (pictured above) with a wide choice of tolex coverings, and Tayden speakers. See our products page for pricing.

The current issue of Guitarist (No 343) has an interview with Barrie Cadogan* (of Little Barrie and Primal Scream), where he talks about his latest amp acquisition, a 25W 2×12 KT66 loaded JPF combination amplifier.
We will be formally launching the KT66 driven Regent 25 model in the New Year. This will include sound samples and video footage.

Now that we are fully familiar with our engraving machine we are offering our a custom panel engraving service to DIY builders and trade customers. In fact we are already supplying engraving to several builders in the UK already.
We have a web-site for this service which includes pricing for one off panels:
We will update this site with more examples of our work in the next few weeks.
Not only can we engrave amp panels and logos, but we can also produce PTFE (Teflon) turret and eyelet boards.
Please get in touch with your requirements.

Here’s a photo of James Stevenson using a JPF Sir Charles 15 with the Alarm.
In addition to playing with the Alarm, James also plays with Glen Matlock, and Gene Loves Jezebel. Check out James’ website for details of his upcoming gigs and highlights of his guitar and amp collection.

A mate of mine Joe has now got his website (creatively called joespedals.com!) up and running selling a great selection of boutique pedals.
Joe is a real pedal nut, so all the pedals he sells are ones he personnally recommends.
Hopefully we’ll soon get a selection of Joe’s personal collection in the “museum section” of his site.

Thanks to everyone who dropped by our stand at Guitar Nation 2010 to have a chat and try out out our new amps, the Sir Charles 15 and the King Charles 30.
Here are some photos from the show.
Got to love the glitter!

As we’ve posted previously, JPF Amplification will be on stand 168 at Guitar Nation 2010, November 13th/14th (this weekend!), at London Olympia.
We will be launching two new amplifiers: the “Sir Charles 15″, and the “King Charles 30″ (no prizes for guessing their power output), which we will have for sale at a “show special” price.
Here’s a Sir Charles 15 in BRG with white stripe. Other colour options are available at no extra cost, although all amps will have Go Faster stripe for enhanced tone.
These amps are our own design, and are hand wired by us using as many UK-made parts as possible, eg transformers, chassis etc. Cabinetry and panel engraving is done in house.
More info on these amps including technical specs, photos, and sound samples will be uploaded to our products page in the next couple of days.
We’ll also have a range of Tayden speakers on our stand, and Paul from Tayden will be dropping in on Sunday.
So drop by our stand to try out our amps, Tayden speakers, or if you simply want to chat about valve amps. We will be more than happy to try to answer any technical enquiries you might have, or give advice about amp building, repairing, modifying etc.
See you at the weekend!

Due to increasing demand for custom amp panels and logos etc, JPF Amps have recently acquired a computer-controlled flat bed rotary engraver. This now means we can design and engrave anything we need in house, which not only saves us money, but also gives us a much greater degree of flexibility.
It is our intention to provide an affordable engraving service for other amp builders, and DIYers.
We are aiming to launch a seperate web-site for our engraving services in the near future, but feel free to get in touch with us with your engraving requirements. By the way the maximum engraving size is 600 x 400 mm.
