Sunn clones

Gonzo476 · #1 07-27-2012, 09:54 AM

Is anyone making clones of old Sunn bass amps or preamp sections? I'm specially interested in the Beta Bass, as it has two channels and I really like the tone.

EDIT: I found this while browsing EBay http://correctsoundcustom.com/index/...roduct=9430967 It could work well as a dirty preamp.

Monolith, possibly.

I've had many problems with that company.

With all the stuff people have said about them on here (actual owners) i'd be hesitant to buy their stuff.

Basing my actions on the words of others? Yes, but its better safe than sorry.

OP, why not just buy another Sunn?

Won't be super complicated, some guy will probably make it to order. Gonna spam this guy again, because I know he can, its just whether he wants to/you want to pay him to do so: http://dunwichamps.com/Home_Page.php

Sunns are pretty rare in Europe. That's why I was asking.

I wish people would stop talking about Monolith or recommending them to people. He has ripped off a lot of customers, including the OP.

I second Dunwich, also you could try Hex Cabs, it's the dude from Eagle Twin and he just cloned a Model T.

Ben Verellen at Verellen amps. He's made a number of Sunn clones in the past, and I've never heard him say "no" to a project.

Really nice guy, too.
