Guitar Amps


Dwarfcraft Love Buzz – The quasi flower-power styling of the two-channel, 50-watt Love Buzz might not be everyone’s cup o’ tea (for the record, we love it), but its EL34-driven, class AB tones are stellar. (Using a Squier Classic Vibe ’50s Duo-Sonic, Dwarfcraft’s Ben Hinz nailed the gritty, detuned glory of Radiohead’s “I Might Be Wrong.”) It features turret-board construction that aims for Bassman-about-to-explode tones, and its controls include Fuyamater (gain), Trebles, Mids, Bass, Presence, and Master. dwarfcraft.com
