Dynamo Amplification Introduces the M50X Amp

A 50 watt single channel high gain amp that has a “balls to the walls” tone only comparable to the super guitar rigs of the late '80s metal gods.



San Antonio, TX (June 22, 2012) - Dynamo Amplification introduced its newest model, the M50X at the 2012 New York Amp Show. The M50X (nicked named “The Bed Room Warrior”) is a 50 watt single channel  high gain amp that has a “balls to the walls” tone only comparable to the super guitar rigs of the late '80s metal gods. This is accomplished by an ultra high gain preamp that is handwired point-to-point with four 12AX7 preamp tubes feeding a pair of EL34 power tubes. With a modest price tag of $1,799, this amp is hand built in North Texas, USA, and built to 100% mil-spec using only high-end audiophile grade components and premium Mercury Magnetics transformers. Dynamo designed the amp to produce a very polished professional concert tone comparable to the days of running custom modified Marshall's and high dollar rack systems and signal processors to achieve such a big tone. Like its bigger brothers in the Dynamo line, this amp offers an amazing high definition concert tone that’s warm, pure, lush, tight, and focused at all volumes.

The M50X is matched to GT212 cab that can be loaded with a range of speakers from FANE, ASW, Jensen, and Eminence with the designer’s favorites being the ASW KTS-70 for best overall tone, and The Jensen Jet Electric lightning for slightly more edge and attack.

If you can't afford this, then do without until you can. Who really wants to buy an amp that was made by people in countries that don't like us? Save up some money and buy a USA product.....there are LOTS of them to choose from.

Problem today is that everyone who can play a barre chord thinks they need high end, boutique, custom gear. These amps are made for pros; thus the price, tagged accordingly. Back in the day, when we would see Marshall, Boogie, Hiwatt amps, etc. we accepted the price because they were made for professional musicians, mainly. If we happened to have a Fender tube combo to jam thru in the garage or basement, we were happy. Don't ever remember 'bitching' about equipment priced for pro's. Nowadays everyone 'has to have the best' to practice in what, your bedroom; or your garage band? Gimme' a break.

What the "F" is up with this sad non-appreciation for craft. If its so easy buy the parts and build it yourself. Glad to know your labor is worth nothing $$. Robbery is the 'a' holes who don't want to pay for another man's labor. The last list I saw of the Forbes wealthiest people did not include any boutique amp builders. If your a cheap skate move to China where you can buy all the crap you want and get a job in one of their factories and they'll even give you a little room with 6 other people to make it cozy. I'll warn warn you though working 16 hour days leaves little time for guitar playing.
Hey Keith appreciate another man's labor and love - be gracious like every true American.

"Most people would be shocked to discover how little it costs to actually build one of those. $1,799 is highway robbery!" --------------------------------- At normal retail prices, you are probably looking at $400-$600 just for the Mercury transformers. The F&T caps used are not cheap, and neither are the other components used. Add in the time spent developing the mods to to JCM800 platform. Then add in the hours it takes to build each one. Do I think it's overpriced? Yes. Highway robbery? Not really.

-1 for calling it point-to-point when it's not. All point-to-point are hand-wired, but not all hand-wired amps are point-to-point.

Hmmm...Looks very cool. I'm sure it sounds good. But there is no reason to pay $1799 for a head anymore. So many options on the market that sounds great, for a truly modest price. "Modest" to describe a $1799 price; what a poor choice of words.

Last time I checked, "a modest price tag of $1,799" isn't so modest

Interesting... but I think those two paragraphs include every single buzzword and syllable of amp marketing jargon currently available except the words "true bypass."
