Celebrating 20 Years of Tone and Innovation

This year marks 20 years of chasing tone, shaping sound, and building guitar amplifiers by hand. What started as a passion for great music and great gear has grown into two decades of craftmanship, innovation, and connection with players who care deeply about their sound. From the first chassis wired on the bench to the latest amp leaving the shop, every build has carried the same commitment to uncompromising tone, reliability, and character.

Over the years, our amps have found their way into studios, stages, garages, and clubs—helping musicians bring their voice to life. We’re honored to have been part of your recordings, rehearsals, tours, and late-night sessions.

Thank you to the loyal RedPlate players who’ve been part of this incredible journey. Here’s to 20 years of pure tone, tubes glowing, and to the music still waiting to be made.

We invite you to view our models, choose the RedPlate that fits your style, and get on the build list today. Please email with any questions.

Only one thing better than having a Redplate, …having two.
Thanks Again. - LOU

Five stars!  A top quality boutique amp builder with many models to choose from. Keith is the main man at the small shop which builds to order. If you are serious about tone as a guitarist, it is worth checking this company out. - TOM S.

Amps that sing, scream, whipser, cry and anything else you need them to do — simply the best amp out there! – DOUG B
