Fryette Amplification Memphis Thirty Combo
The ink on Fryette’s prototype Memphis Thirty control panel was still drying when the show launched. The Memphis Thirty 1x12 combo builds upon Fryette’s popular SIG:X clean channel, but that’s where the similarities stop. The new Class-A 30W combo has dual channels (Clean and Drive), Power Shift switching (30W/18W), series/ parallel effects loop, a tube-driven Accutronics spring reverb, and uses a 12AX7, 12AT7, three 12AX7AC, and four EL84 tubes. Other features include a 12” Eminence speaker, specially designed by Fryette, enclosed in a Baltic birch cabinet. The coolest feature of this amp is the ability to change or re-order preamp tubes easily from the front panel—no need for gloves or a cool-down period, because the tubes are housed above a vent that pushes air by means of speaker movement.

MSRP $2200

For me the market is saturated. I look at these,at Schroeder, at LSL, and the other myriad of builders and ask , why? I guess they have done the market research, and certainly know it a lot better than me, but I just don't see the need for the more guitars like these.
