About McClostone
Started in 2014, McClostone specializes in collaborative custom amplifier building. The focus is on the player and how they want their amp to sound and look. Many of our builds are based on classic amps of the 50’s and 60’s, but with some tweaking to make them more versatile and fit each clients needs. Each amp is built with the utmost care and craftsmanship.
McClostone amps use the highest quality parts including Heyboer and Classictone Transformers, Mallory and Sprague capacitors, Weber Speakers, and other premium components.
