background
George Alessandro designs and hand fabricates all-tube/valve amps in his Pennsylvania shop. His circuitry designs are unique and imaginative. His craftsmanship meticulous.
description|philosophy
Alessandro positions his amplifiers as "High End" products, meaning audiophile grade for the musician. The Alessandro line of amps spans from the sublime with solid silver or gold chassis encased in highly figured exotic woods to the Working Dog series at an accessible price point for the working musician.
product line
The focus here is on two variations of the Working Dog line voiced for the Jazz guitarist through the ears of respected luthier Bill Comins: the Comins 1x12 and Comins 2x10.
Both models vary only in their speaker configuration. They are single channel combo amplifiers rated at 60 watts and nominally weigh about 40 lbs.
Designed as clean machines, the Comins amps are witness that all-tube or valve amplifiers designed specifically for the task will deliver with a richly complex and full tone. Neither requires the use of a fork lift to get around.
warranty
1-year.
client opinions
An L5 or similar big archtop with built-in humbucker pickups plugged into an Alessandro Comins amp make for one great classic combination.
