Eastman Guitars Introduces Schertler JAM150 Amp

Eastman Guitars Introduces Schertler JAM150 Amp

The Schertler JAM150 is a hand built, all-wood stained 150-watt bi-amp with an 8” woofer and 1” dome tweeter.

Pomona, CA (November 6, 2013) -- The long awaited arrival of the Schertler JAM150 amplifier has finally hit stores in the U.S.! Officially unveiled during Summer NAMM in Nashville earlier this year, the JAM150 uses some of the finest electrical components and drivers available today. One of the high-performance market leaders in Europe, the Schertler JAM150 ($1249.99) is a classic, hand built, all-wood stained 150-watt bi-amp with an 8” woofer and 1” dome tweeter offering pro-audio sound in a rugged road worthy package.

Designed in Switzerland and hand made in Italy, this impressive amp features a 150 Watt bi-amp design built using some of the finest electrical components and drivers coming out of Italy today. Anything built from individual components is only as good as its weakest component, so using cheaper components is not an option - better parts make a better amp.

The onboard mixer enables the use of several instruments simultaneously depending on the needs of the musician. The JAM150 features four channels. Three channels are designed to enable the simultaneous connection of several instruments, each with a 3-band EQ offering flexibility in shaping the tone to suit the instrument and room. Two of these channels feature XLR inputs with phantom power. In addition it features a fourth channel, with a 2-band EQ, designed for unbalanced line inputs with RCA connectors for connecting devices with high output signal such as iPods, computers or keyboards. In addition the JAM150 features four onboard Alesis digital effects, three reverbs and one delay. There is a separate send/return effects loop, for connecting your own devices and it features several output options including a pro quality XLR DI.

The compact 8” woofers have been hand selected to provide a low system resonance for accurate low end reproduction, coupled with larger magnets to provide the focused high quality sound players are looking for when they need to accurately reproduce the sound of their acoustic instruments. The result is a sound that is warm and natural, with the ability to double with vocal microphones as well, making it the ultimate small PA. (Dimensions: 10.6 x 14.17 x 15.74 inch – 28.66 lbs.)

This Japan-made Guyatone brings back memories of hitchin’ rides around the U.S.

This oddball vintage Guyatone has a streak of Jack Kerouac’s adventurous, thumbing spirit.

The other day, I saw something I hadn’t noticed in quite some time. Driving home from work, I saw an interesting-looking fellow hitchhiking. When I was a kid, “hitchers” seemed much more common, but, then again, the world didn’t seem as dangerous as today. Heck, I can remember hitching to my uncle’s cabin in Bradford, Pennsylvania—home of Zippo lighters—and riding almost 200 miles while I sat in a spare tire in the open bed of a pickup truck! Yes, safety wasn’t a big concern for kids back in the day.

When you imagine an ideal creative space, what do you see? A loft? A barn? A cabin far from distraction? Reveling in such visions is inspiration and a beautiful escape. Reality for most of us, though, is different. We’re lucky to have a corner in the kitchen or a converted closet to make music in. Still, there’s a romance and sense of possibility in these modest spaces, and the 15-watt, 1x10, all-tubeSupro Montauk is an amplifier well suited to this kind of place. It enlivens cramped corners with its classy, colorful appearance. It’s compact. It’s also potent enough to sound and respond like a bigger amp in a small room.
