This Jen Ritter Encore tube amp offers a stylish look and a striking finish. The design is reminiscent of 50s-60s futurism. However, it will set you back $40k and may not be a very practical amp to move around.
Jen Ritter Encore
If you are in the market for a unique, stylish tube amp then the Jen Ritter Encore may be the answer you have been looking for. It combines modern sleek design, with a retro vintage aesthetic with it’s curved shape and almost wave like appearance. However, at €36k, which is basically $40k, this tube amp is not exactly affordable to the average musician.
Though, I have to admit it looks pretty impressive in that white and red finish. A real statement piece and very striking.
Boutique Amp
German guitar builder Jens Ritter Instruments has created this amp using some high end parts, including 18-karat white gold-covered tubes, and ice-frosted, white gold-coated sapphire-topped control knobs.
Laser Engraving
The design also features a polished stainless steel chassis with laser engravings of famous guitar players’ names, these can also be customised when place you order.
Dual Channel/Twin Speakers
This twin-channel, 58 watt amp is voiced like a Fender Bassman, and a Dumble Classic. Two amps that inspired them to build the Encore. The design uses two different 12″ speakers, with a Jensen speaker in an open-back design for a warmer, more resonant sound, and an Electro-Voice that is housed in a bass reflex system, for a tighter, punchier tone.
Design wise it offers two clean channels, advanced tone shaping controls, a switchable serial effects loop, with selectable mains voltage and flexible speaker impedance.
Each amp will take around 7 months to build, so if you want one you should take the wait time into account. Then, you’ll need to find a flight case to fit it, and work out how you are going to fit it into the band’s van. Good luck with that.
MSRP – €36k
