You want the tone that broke the blues in England in the mid-60’s. You want the overdrive and sustain that filled the charts in the 70’s. You want the distortion and grind that packed the stadiums in the 80’s.   So what are you waiting for?

The Phat Tone “Mastiff” gives you all of that in an easy to dial in, handmade package built for performance. This is not a boutique “living room” amplifier, but serious equipment for musicians who hit the stage every night. Unequalled tone, ease of use, compact size with a big sound, at a price you can afford. American made in small quantities, with the attention to detail unmatched by the corporate giants. 

The clean channel harkens back to the English tone of the 60’s, with crisp highs, complex mids, and a solid bottom end guaranteed to shake the floor. Dialed in with the 3-band tone stack, balanced with the dark and bright inputs, and fine-tuned with the presence control, every nuance of your playing is brought to the forefront.

The overdrive channel can range from fat, gritty blues tones to thundering crunch to screaming harmonics, all with articulation and dynamics to burn. Two footswitch-accessible master volumes allow you to dial in a heavy rhythm tone and a different volume for lead work, at any levels you wish. This channel works with your guitar, not taking it over; the sound of your instrument is always predominant in the mix.

The 18-watt dual 6V6 power section gives you enough volume for club work, allowing the power amp to overdrive at the perfect level to be heard throughout the room. Not loud enough to deafen you and your audience, but still enough to shake the floors; all the creamy tone and edge that you crave will take your sound to a new level.

This amplifier is entirely built by hand, from the eyelet circuit board with point-to-point wiring, to the baltic birch void-free plywood cabinet. The tolex covering is available in several colors and styles, including early 60’s “California Blonde” and mid 60’s “English Green.”
