Sebago Sound releasing new Steel String Singer based amp to be called the "Texas Flood"
Sebago Sound is excited to be releasing an amp based on one of the most rare and valuable amps ever made, the Dumble Steel String Singer. Less than 10 of these amps were ever built, each one with it's own unique voice. Ours is based on one of the early amps now owned by a Grammy award winning blues/pop guitarist, and will be the most affordable SSS based amp on the market that is true to the original. All US made including the transformers (yes, these make a huge difference in an amp like this!). There may be a less expensive version available, but it is not close to the original, and does not include the high quality components that make or break the tone of such a mighty and dynamic, clean amplifier. More information on the amp can be found on our SSS page.
Testing of the prototype amp has gone very well so far. The prouction amp will be exactly the same circuit as used in this prototype. A full review can be found on the guitargear.org web site. Here are a few audio clips that showcase the amazing tone of the Texas Flood amp:
About Sebago Sound
If you're looking for an affordable hand made amplifier that
captures the tone that you hear in your ear but can't get out of your
amp, then you've found the right place!
The Double Trouble line
offers one of the widest range of sounds available in an all-tube
guitar amp, reminiscent of the famous Overdrive Special amplifiers of
the 70's and 80's. The clean channel evokes the "Blackface" Twin era:
lots of top end, full bottom and a wide control over the midrange
balance. The overdrive channel really doesn't have an equal. It
offers a very wide range of overdrive, all the way from a clean sound
that overdrives with a hard pick attack, to very saturated, smooth and
sustaining violin like distortion. Both the clean and overdrive
channels can be boosted with a footswitchable preamp boost that offers
a nice increase in volume and drive level to any sound. All of our
amplifiers are hand made right here in the USA. We use the finest
components, and hand build and test every amp we make.

"Finally a truly affordable amp that sounds like those $50k unobtainable ones we drool over. Built with no corners being cut right here in USA. The feel of this amp will make you find the playing spaces you always heard in your head. But don't take my word for it, listen to the clips I spit out in the first 10 minutes of playing it."
"I first heard the Double Trouble amp in the recording studio. I immediately became intoxicated by the smooth voicing and versatile tone quality. I said, I have to have this this amp!.
The owner wouldn't part with it. So I ordered one that same day."
"We use many amps here in the studio. This amp (Double Trouble) has made my staff's job a whole lot easier. Every guitar player that has heard it has been impressed. I'm impressed that several people that have recored with our Sebago DT50 purchased their own straight away . . . ."
"Kudos to Sebago Sound. They got it right. Tight, punchy, creamy, I can't think of enough words to describe this amp. I am taking one back to Boston. " 
"This thing kicks ass! I've used Hiwatt, Vox, Marshalls, 65s and other great amps, the Sebago Double Trouble now tops my list.."
