If MJW Amps started up again, would anybody buy one?

What's Hot

 And it's a big 'if'.  

Just flying a kite here, I think they call it. I'm thinking about possibilities for next year. One option is to restart on a slightly smaller scale initially, one order at a time, same basic models as a basis for custom amps, but also some of the common 'standards'.

I have a couple of ideas that have been bubbling for a while, and some of the orders I had last year I was disappointed not to build.

Anyway, just floating the possibility.

    I don’t think my finances would stretch, but if they did, it’s something I’d be into..
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

  • There seems to be a market for amps with the  plexi , hot rodded plexi and jcm 800 style tones, but with more features than on a Marshall and hopefully better reliability.... Largely these appear to be American made and costing around £3k just for a head in the UK. 
                              Maybe a UK version of such an amp would interest some if the price came in even at half that ?

  • Martin, 

    I've never bought or tried one of yours, but everyone speaks highly of your work.

    Not a bad basis to start/continue your business is it ?! :)

    If I went back to amp rather than modeller/monitors then I'd definitely want an MJW again. In sparkly blue again.

    You mean another one? I only bought a Red Plate because you stopped.
    If I ever need another amp you'd be my first port of call.
    Hope all is well.

    I don't use amps and I've not heard of MJW, but I've just taken a look at the website and they look awesome. Great web site by the way.

  • martin, a 2x6v6 head, tube driven fx loop, bass, mid, treb + presence tonestack, ptp wired and with variable voltage power scaling is exactly what i want.

    Problem is

    Hard to get an amp like that which is uk or usa made and doesnt cost a fortune.

    So many pcb amps out there which are built using penny pinching modern construction and which are guaranteed to fail.

    Martin if you are opening mjw order books again please let me know.

    Having played for over 40 years and owned hundreds of amps you made the best one I’ve ever played. That’s got to be a yes.
