It Took 3 Years But I Finally Have My Dream Amp

Hold onto your seats, dear readers, because today's video is not your run-of-the-mill backstage journal tour or a typical Vlog. It's a journey into the heart of innovation, where music meets engineering, and passion collides with sound waves. Buckle up as we dive deep into the creation of the Port City Grandville, a signature amp that defies conventions and sets a new standard in the world of amplification.

The Genesis: A Surprise Signature Amp Journey

Three years ago, I received an unexpected message from Daniel Klein of Port City Amps proposing the idea of a signature amp. Frankly, I hadn't entertained the thought before, unsure of what I truly desired in such a unique piece of musical machinery. However, destiny took an interesting turn during the recording of the Roof Man record in Clouds Hill Studios, Hamburg, Germany, about a year ago.

It was there that I encountered a sonic masterpiece—an early 50s Gibson GA 50. The impact was profound, and in that moment, I knew this was the essence I sought in my signature amp. I promptly reached out to Daniel with a simple yet powerful message: "This is it. Let's create something extraordinary." Thus began the exhilarating journey of design, prototyping, and the birth of the Port City Grandville.

Breaking the Mold: A Unique Sonic Identity

Let's get one thing straight—the Port City Grandville is not a clone. It's not mimicking a Gibson, Fender, or anything else for that matter. Instead, it draws inspiration from the soul of the early 50s GA 50. The result? A sonic marvel that refuses to conform, offering a unique blend of tones and textures.

In today's video, I won't just give you a standard demo or a run-of-the-mill view. No, I want to take you on a sonic journey, experiencing the amp as I did—live and in action with my band, Noah Guthrie in Good Trouble. If you're here for the amp's raw power in a band context, check out the timestamps below and skip ahead to the performances. Trust me; you won't be disappointed.

Limited Edition Extravaganza: Only 10 Amps Available!

Hold onto your hats because here's the kicker: we're launching a limited run of 10 amps to kick off the year 2022. Yes, you heard it right—only 10. Whether you fancy the head and cab combo like the one I'm rocking or the combo version, these 10 amps are exclusive and unique. But fear not, dear music enthusiasts, for if the demand roars like an electric guitar solo, we'll fire up the production again early next year. Interested?
