Anyone can build a valve amp, some do it better than others , then there's the builders who are at the top of the tree.Its not just a matter of assembling the finest components , its a matter of fine tuning , the art of finding that tone, finding the sweet spot where the amp sings,where the harmonic overtones create a wonderful musicial note that raises the senses, has depth and character that engage's the player and responds to his or her's sensitivity and feel.

Leo Fender was at the top of the tree by far, his genius was his abilty to shape the sound through meticulous selection of components, through the 50's tweed years , then the early 60's blondes, browns then the 65' blackfaces. Not only that, his construction techniques were spot on, the layout and positioning of components , the cabinet design, the ease of servicing , all this set the benchmark in guitar amplifier design.

At Lucas Miles Tube Amplification we take our inspiration from Leo Fender's legacy and produce amps modeled on his tweed , brown and blackface classic's. We use the same construction techniques that Leo Fender used in his classic amps, the use of fibreboards to wire up components point to point , the use of cotton sheath wire and the finest components currently available from small boutique companies like Synergy capacitors ,Sozo capacitors, Jupiter Condensors and Mercury Magnetic transformers.These companies products are devoted to creating those wonderful vintage tones from the past. Lucas Miles amps are a faithful reproduction of Leo Fender's classic amps meticulously handbuilt and guaranteed to last a lifetime and beyond.
