At Torres our aim is simple - to supply and build the best quality guitar amplifiers to your specification. We will NOT compromise on Tone. We do NOT use mass production techniques. We do NOT use printed circuit boards. In short, we don’t cut corners so you don’t have to cut corners on your sound.

A note about endorsers.Torres has been supplying and customising equipment for guitarists for over 25 years and yet we have no endorsers. Everyone knows endorsers get given equipment for nothing or buy it very cheaply in return for their public association with the product. One guy recently told me that he had a garage full of the equipment which he endorses, and that’s where it stays, unused. We are different. Instead of spending money on equipment for artist endorsements, thereby increasing our costs and ultimately the prices we charge to our customers, we have customers who are happy to pay reasonable prices for top quality goods. Just check out the list of some of our better known customers to see what we mean.

A note about mass production. Big companies sell guitar amps relatively cheaply. This means employing mass production techniques, which inevitably limits the range of choice available and makes the ability to customise the design to your personal requirements difficult. That is where we come in. Many of our designs are intended to modify existing amplifiers, ‘blueprinting’ certain parts of the circuit, redesigning badly thought out sections, or simply upgrading the quality of the components used. The kits available in this catalogue are the distillation from many years of working with tube amplifiers and knowing what makes them sound a whole lot better than they do straight out of the box, and often for surprisingly little money or effort.

A note on doing-it-yourself. You don’t need a Degree in Electronics to start customising your gear or even to build your own amp - just a bit of knowledge (see our books and literature and please read our SAFETY NOTE) a soldering iron and a handful of components. Whatever you need - we either have it or can get it for you.

Finally, a ‘thank you’ to all our customers for their ongoing support. As ever, if you don’t see exactly what you want, send us an e-mail or give us a call - happy reading.

If you have any comments, criticisms, praise, questions or suggestions, or would like to place an order, please either send us an email or go to our contact page.
