designing speaker cabinets and sound systems. In 1992, the
business name was changed to The

I came across this 1977 Phoenix
Valve Pre Guitar Amplifier on eBay: Perspex front.
These were endorsed by Ritchie Blackmore and were made in the
United Kingdom.
It has a Valve Pre stage matched
with a solid state amplifier, there is an AUX control which
either hints at it having an aux circuit for adding effects.

I keep a signed plate on the
bottom of all of my amps that contains a serial number
(sequential, starting with PHX000-PHX115, etc..) and also
contains the date of manufacture. I keep a detailed listing of
all amps as well, so customers can always email me for details!
