Pretty bloody stoked for my mucker Chris from Rift Amps

ThorpyFX

Yup.... @RiftAmps are now stocked in Andertons, this video tells you all you need to know tbh.... but I shall gesticulate anyway...

super high quality parts, really well built and can stand toe to toe with the best and brightest in the amp world.... if you want a quality amp, head to Andertons and smash your guitar lead into a Rift. Oh and he's a smashing chap to boot. 

Im really pleased for Rift, Chris works hard to deliver a great product and he deserves this level of recognition and more...

I must say the initial jam is probably the best sound I've heard from an Andertons demo.

I'm guessing @ThorpyFX ; would say it's the Dane

Blimey! I've not watched an Anderton's video for a while, I tend to avoid them these days...but:

Awesome sounding amps, and proper playing made that a thoroughly enjoyable one.

I'm gonna have to check down the back of the sofa and see if I can scrape a couple of grand together!

Did you get a commission?

A massive congratulations to Chris. An absolute gentleman and an amazing amp builder. 

Now, excuse me... I’m off to the black market with a kidney. There’s a PR18 out there with my name on it!

3,999 more endorsements and you'll be able to afford one for yourself :-)

Oooohh errrr, don't know what to say...

Thanks, everyone, it feels pretty cool to beat the 66% failure rate for startups in their first 5 years, it's been a long old slog to get here and hopefully Andertons can take the sales pressure away from me so I can focus on the product design and mnfr.

If you've bought an amp from me in the past I owe you a double thank you, I've pretty much reinvested every penny that I've earned back into the business rather than take out loans/ods etc so every amp sold has helped me grow much more than you might think.

Might finally be able to buy a new pair of jeans now

Great news, congrats!

Fortheloveofguitar

Great sounding amps. Do they do anything high gain?

olafgarten

Great news and good job Chris. 

Running a business is incredibly difficult especially in a market like this where it's easy to be forgotten whenever the next big thing comes along.

Shame Anderton's aren't stocking the little 5w combo

I have a nearly new pair of Levi's I'd probably consider trying for a Vibro 35? ;-) Good to hear a UK success story

They can order one for you, no problem

Go and buy one, you know it makes sense and after the reaction to the Aynsley Lister model at the show and the extended go on the 1x12 Combo version  at Rift HQ i find it hard to recommend an Amp more.

I would love one of these, but I’m so burnt out and tired of buying multi channel (even single channel) amps and being disappointed with the gain. It’s always too flubby when you get the thing going, with bass being thrown all over the place!

I just want a single channel combo with a gain control to push the amp into a great edge of breakup, with around 20w-30w like a deluxe reverb for decent headroom that I can use for a pedal platform. (Effects Loop would be excellent too!)

@RiftAmps have you got anything like that?

I’ve bought Friedman, Carol Ann, Marshall and the DRRI is the one I always go back to. 

SidNewton

I watched this yesterday. I want a PR35.

Jalapeno

Agree with the video comments the opening jam is tasty.

Well I'm hooked !   Loving Danish Pete's PR35 sound. I have more bloody amp GAS ....

Yeah.... I think I am in the same boat as you. I’m a massive British amp distortion fan but Marshall ain’t doing it for me these days.....

so with the same brief brief as you, I’ve actually ordered the ainsley signature amp.... it ticks all of your boxes and tbh, I had no choice the ducking thing has been haunting me since I first heard it finished. 

trust me, ainsley is a fussy bugger with amps so if suits him then it’ll suit anyone 

Voxman

Those are some of the nicest amps I've heard in a while, and good to see a decent video doing them justice.  If I had the dosh...(sigh).  Maybe my premium bonds will come up next week.
