Kaat Van Stralen @ MIA's with Soulbird
SOULBIRD
"The Soulbird is an amazing machine, incredible, I just wanted to let you know. Clean and overdrive have a beautiful sound, all the pedals sound wonderful. Inspiring amplifier!" Have a nice day.
Soulbird is a compact, lightweight, 100% tube hand-wired guitar combo.
Inspired by both Princeton Reverb and Vox AC15
After building and servicing tube amps for about 20 years, Soulbird combines all we've learnt throughout the years: absolutely noise free by using shielded cable internally and custom mass dividing, very natural break-up because of a modified power supply, custom EU overwound transformers, top notch components such as Carling switches and CTS pots. Only the best is good enough.
