High gain addicts no longer have to wait up to two years to get the highly sought after SE overdrive modification (mod). For many years artists all over the world have sent us their beloved master volume amps to be modified. As part of the mod process, and to ensure reliability, these amplifiers undergo a complete overhaul; essentially transforming their old amplifier into a bullet-proof, high gain machine.

Due to the overwhelming demand for this mod, we have developed the SE-100 Hand Wired amplifier - the ultimate single channel high gain amp. The SE-100 Hand Wired incorporates our sought after SE overdrive mod, paired with a finely tuned ‘68 plexi output power section, which delivers a variety of classic and modern high gain overdrive tones, and 100 watts of power, that you can feel at your fingertips.

Every SE-100 Hand Wired is meticulously handcrafted and offers a number of unique features such as: a plexi-style output transformer, four gain stages, and a bypassable low impedance tube effects loop optimized to interface with line level rack gear.

For high gain addicts, this amp delivers: muscular British crunch, chest pounding high-gain, and well defined, bone crushing drop tuning tones - all with a simple turn of the gain knob!

An awesome amp..... with a non awesome price tag ..........

I think the market will be f_cked as soon as Bugera release a classic hot rodded jose style amp. yikes.
 
Sounds like Whitesnake tone in spades to me. I dig it!
 
What is the price? I do like the high gain sound, too much of demo isnt high gain though, seems kind of stupid when you're selling a high gain amp. We get it, it cleans up nice.

I dunno....but it's hand wired, and from Suhr, so I'm guessing close to 4k :lol: :LOL:
 
A couple of 412's and some sauce and that thing would sound ok.
 
Wadda ya know...another $3k plus amp


...that doesnt sound any better than the used Splawn I got for $1,000 :confused:


No thanks :thumbsdown:

$3200

Bullshit price. Sorry, but that's no 3200 amp.
The amp is worth whatever price people are willing to pay for it. Obviously, it isn't worth it to you, however, Mr. Suhr is no novice and I'm sure he knows how many he'll sell at this price and has made the requisite trade-offs in his head when he set it.

It says in the marketing material that John himself builds them and that may also be a factor in the pricing. That may have value to some and not to others as well...

Not directing this at you Reza, but I'm always amused by these pricing discussions as someone who has brought an amp to market myself. Most people commenting on prices have no idea how much it costs to design and build limited quantities of a high quality amp. If I was making 1000s of them, and was willing to compromise quality somewhat, of course the economics would be different.. There is not as much profit in any of this as people think for the little guy doing high quality work...

"Hey wanna know how to make a million bucks in the amp biz? Well... ya start with two million and..."

I am curious about why you think that, coming from a guy that owns a couple of $3K amps and is in the market for a Friedman ? I guess this amp is worth $3K as much as anyone else charging that.

Yup. Diezels are sold at Walmart.

Just because someone doesn't like the idea of paying $3200 for a 1 channel amp doesn't mean they can't afford it.
 
Sorry, there is no need to pay that much for a Marshall clone. I'm sure the components are top notch, but there are dozens of other amps that can do the same thing at a fraction of the cost. I'm not a walmart buyer by any means, but I just don't see any reason to buy this amp.
