Products
JK amplifiers are produced using a totally unique design which creates a highly clean and crisp sound that, unlike other amps, will not break at higher volumes. It is our special engineering which makes it one of the best and most realistic-sounding in the world.

We produce guitar, bass amplifiers and cabs as well as microphone preamplifiers. We also make audio amps and speakers, especially to fit interior design.

We ship throughout Europe and the UK.

Our products are widely considered by serious musicians as among the very best worldwide. Each item is carefully custom-made to meet the highest expectations. Our amplifiers are made with the highest quality components and are designed to last. At JK we don't believe in taking shortcuts which can compomise quality.

I find the claim to have been a brand existing, not just more than a year, but darned close to four decades difficult to believe with the only google results being to their recent FB page.

They were a small local company who have been established for decades in the local area, actively servicing and producing high quality small scale hifi products. These are not factory produced brand, but small very tight knit company, everything hand built and assembled in Katowice Poland. Think of it as custom boutique bas luthier like Fodera or a Ken Smith - one/two man small scale production team, not a lot of hype output but massive quality and attention to detail workmanship.

Only recently in the last couple of years have they established an online presence as JK amp brand, hence the small amount google hits but have been producing and servicing high end audio gear for decades. They know what they are doing :)

honestly uniquely one of the BEST sounding bass heads i have ever played! here is a link to a magazine review

JK Amplifiers • The best sound quality

enjoy!
