Established in 2006 in Phoenix, Arizona, RedPlate Amps was started by Henry Heistand, who was joined in 2008 by business partner, Keith Entringer. Together, they have a combined total of over 80 years of playing, servicing, and designing tube amplifiers. Henry is now retired, but works with Keith often on new designs.
Our philosophy is simple - “First get the cleans right” .
The amps produce maximum bloom and sustain on the clean tones with incredible harmonics and overtones. Build construction is eyelet board point-to-point (no printed circuit boards allowed) with “sustain boosting” lead dress perfection. The intelligent, proven designs are the culmination of years of listening, learning, trial/error, and shameless imitation. These are true boutique amps; hand built with an uncompromising attention to detail combined with a final tweaking process that gives the player that last extra amount of tonal excellence. Playing a RedPlate amplifier allows you to reproduce the tone inside your head and when you perform with that tone, every night becomes an “on” night.
