SRV tone – Custom by Cougar

Welcome tone lovers !

Here are some info on the gear currently available to custom order.

My priority is to build tone machines that goes a bit further on than just cloning amps that so many are doing today, these following amps are the result of over 30 years of research for the ultimate clean guitar tone that responds extremely well to effect pedals, all built with careful attention to tone.

All amps are hand built, hand engraved and tweaked individually so each amp has its own personality.

Mother Classic reverb. 70 tm 6550 tube poweramp. I set up the classic Mother reverb amp in this version to produce the most big sound possible but still at decent volumes for club gigs , Philip Sayce has used the Mother amps since 2005 and the classic version has that big sweet sound foundation, there is simply nothing out there with this unique clean fat sustain response to pedals, and it works fantastic with all pedals like fuzzes, distortion and overdrive, truly a versatile amp for most styles. Panel controls are: Pre volume HI-LO-R/S switches, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb send, Reverb return, Master vol, Presence, 4-8-16 speaker out. Please inquire for pricing

Mother RG 70. tm 6550 tube power amp. Ramon Goose Signature amp, this is an amp with massive clean headroom that works great with pedals and projects tone in a wonderful way, this version has slightly cleaner tone than the Mother classic . Hi – Lo – R/S switches, treble, middle, bass, Reverb shape /return Master vol presence – 4-8-16 ohm speaker out- This version now comes with the same full sounding reverb design as the Mother Classic and the standard size chassie as the Classic . Please inquire for pricing

All the Mother versions are great for SRV style tones. Also check out Ramon Goose website (https://ramongoose.wordpress.com/

XR 59 Custom. tm This amp is based on one of my earlier ideas that I have now set up for Nik Sevigny, and I think it turned out pretty nice. This is a 50w 6L6 reverb amp head that has slightly more natural and full drive in the preamp and that it is made to also sound really great on lower volumes, it also has a new reverb setup that can be shaped with a accent control that controls decay and warmth.

The controls are Vol1, Hi – S – B – ( Bright, Mid shape- Boost switch) Vol 2, Treble, middle, Bass, Reverb level, Reverb Accent, Vol 3 control – Vol 1 and Vol 2 in the preamp section can either act as a preamp master vol to set the base tone depending on you want a cleaner brighter clean tone or if you want a warmer fuller tone with a bit more drive at lower volumes. then the Vol 3 set the total output. Rear panel has standard power cable jack, fuse, bias test points for each power tube , 4-8-16 speaker jacks (or optional 2×4 and a single 8 ohm speaker jack) This amp is built in my standard chassie and cabinet same as the Mother amp and it comes with a hand engraved semi polished or raw brushed panels, in standard it come with black tolex covering and comes with a custom front cloth version in various colors and patterns (no aluminium trim on the XR model)

I have now also decided to make all XR amps in the new + version with the Volume 3 control and a few new trix as this further improve adjustability and various gain/ drive modes and also for real nice low volume playing and more drive at tap and still has the original tone in full, so you will still be able to use it as a big clean/drive machine as the original versions, this is a very versatile amp. Price is 5000Euro

Here is a clip of Nik Sevigny playing his standard original XR59 amp head and also kicking in a Dominion Fuzz and Wha pedal later in the clip.

Currently I am working with Philip Sayce on a couple of totally new circuit design ideas , also I made him this super-compact custom reverb head with lots of new trix inside and mated to a special trannie setup that I made for him to fit inside his carry on case as a Travel amp, so its a rather small size head but with the output power of a 100w Twin ,,but no its not a Twin 😺 Currently these are not available to order
