“I had to drop a note and let you know how incredibly fortunate I feel to get this amp from you. I've been playing the snot out of it since I picked it up last week and have truly been blown away. I know that sounds like a cliche. I'm not a professional musician, but have had more amps than I care to admit since the late 70's, and none of them compare at all.  In fact, I had been trying similar 12" Princeton style amps over the past year from other supposed small amp builders like Headstrong, Allen, etc., and yours is noticeably higher quality for something like $400 less.  Even the RCA jacks for the footswitch are audiophile grade (not to mention the awesome cabinet).  I knew the clean sound was beautiful from when I tried the other one at your place, but getting mine home where I can crank it up has really surprised me as well.  For instance, I've always stayed away from my bridge pickups in my strats/tele's through my deluxe reverb RI because the sound was just too grainy for me but in this amp that bite is just glorious.

“I got my McClostone amp in August 2015 and it has been my single greatest gear purchase experience to date. Aaron is a knowledgeable and experienced amp builder, thoughtfully answering any questions I had about the process and offering his honest opinions on all aspects of the build. He kept me informed with updates on our project as it progressed and has always been quick to return calls and texts. The amp sounds amazing! It’s exactly what I was hoping for and it gets compliments at every gig on both the gorgeous tone and spectacular dovetailed pine cabinet. I doubt you could have a better custom amp build experience than the one you’ll have with Aaron.”

“It’s a wonderful thing to personally know someone locally who can build you an amp that not only sounds great and is customized to your liking, but also looks stunning on the outside. Enter McClostone Amplifiers. Aaron McCloskey built an amp for our own Murry Mercier and it is killer! Great guy, great musician, great amps. ‘Nuff said!”

“I can vouch for the excellent quality, superb sound, features and pure craftsmanship of these amps. I own one and it is amazing. I am so happy to have met Aaron, worked with his expert guidance for the design and specifications, and finally become the proud owner of this awesome amp.”
