Amplifiers

At the first glance, Kumerle amplifiers evoke immediate associations with the amplifiers from 1960s and 1970s England. And indeed, they deliver just that, and more. Should you desire further customization, Dario is always keen on tailoring them to your preferences and taste.

The listed prices are not final, as the components are sourced not only from Sweden but also from the EU and the USA, and are always based on the euro and dollar exchange rates. For pricing specifics, you are always welcome to contact Dario directly.

BLONDE45

The Blonde45 is a two-channel amplifier head with a “clean” and a “crunch” channel. The “clean” channel remains completely clean even at higher volumes. The sound is warm, and its tone is controlled by a built-in “bright switch” that can be further customized to your specific taste. The “crunch” channel and the entire design are inspired by our beloved “Plexi” from England, but in the Blonde45, the goal is the first model from 1964. While the “Plexis” needed to be played loud the Blonde45 can reproduce the same experience and feeling at lower volumes, which is suits today’s needs. It has a warmer tone and is naturally rich in overtones, which further enhances the feeling. Regardless of the volume level, the Blonde45 sounds the same thanks to its “point-to-point” construction. It has a built-in ultra-transparent FX loop.

 

It can also be delivered as a 1×12″ or 2×12″ combo.
