Port City Amps Releases the Brit 50

Press Release

The Brit 50 nails the hot-rodded, British voiced amplifier that we all know and love.


Winston Salem, NC (January 12, 2013) -- The new Brit 50 is a 50-watt, hand-wired, single channel plug in and play rock machine. The Brit 50 nails the hot-rodded, British voiced amplifier that we all know and love. It can cover a broad expanse of tone ranges from medium gain to the more overdriven, modern day rock sound. With the addition of your favorite overdrive or boost pedal, players can send the amp far into high gain territory. The Brit 50 has a big and tight bottom end, aggressive midrange, and smooth high end that cuts through a band mix. Designed with a responsive tone circuit, the Brit 50 can move from a hard grinding growl to clean with just a touch of the guitar’s volume knob. While bedroom guitarists can get great low volume tones, this amp is designed to be turned up!

The Port City Brit 50 features:
• Volume, gain, treble, middle, bass and presence controls
• Resonance knob (Located on the rear panel)
• 2 – EL34 power tubes
• 3 – JJ preamp tubes
• 50 watts
• Optional effects loop

The Port City Brit 50 is handmade in North Carolina using only the highest quality components such as Mojotone Dijon capacitors, carbon film resistors, custom USA made transformers, PVC coated copper wire and Switchcraft jacks. The Sterling head enclosure is crafted from ¼" inch finger jointed solid pine.

Retail $1875
Custom color tolex $75
Metro Zero Loss Effects loop $100

Boutique builders make gear with the highest quality parts, rigorous testing of each part, matching components, calibrating parts, and more testing. Boutique gear actually sound better than the originals, are made with no compromise components, and are built stronger. There might not be a sonic difference between point to point handwired amps and PC board amps, but the PC boards get hot and sometimes crack, ruining the amp. Other cheapened parts in mass produced amps can also fail when they get too hot. Professional touring musicians have to rely on their gear and cannot afford to have cheap gear break down on them, especially while they are performing on stage.

on 01/25/2013 		Why is it that so many boutique builders are trying to build an amp that Jim Marshall and his staff built in the 60's. Seems to me that when these amps are more expensive than "the real thing", it becomes hard to justify the price.
