Sugartune Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm looking at an Allen built Old Flame Head w/ 2x12 cab. Seems to be positive from what I've seen and heard. Just curious if anyone has any experience with Allen Amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratacus Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I have an Allen built Accomplice 1x15 combo that is fantastic. I would definitely buy one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Do you know if it's a legit DA build or one of his kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricS Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I really like my Allen-built Classic 10. My brother built a Sweet Spot and a Chihuahua. The Sweet Spot is especially, errr, sweet. Good stuff for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fractal Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Allen stuff is well designed and uses high quality parts. They are the real-deal for sound and durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Any relation to Allen organs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Quote Any relation to Allen Organs? Well, I guess not. Allen amps are made in Walton KY, a small town of just under 4K residents. It's home to jockey Steve Cauthen, who won the Triple Crown in 1978. Walton is less than an hour drive from where I grew up in a Cincinnati suburb. Allen Organs' headquarters are in Macungie, Pennsylvania. Besides their organs, they do make killer amps and speakers, but mostly for classical music applications.

Pieman Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Quote He serviced a Vibro Champ for me many years ago. He was easy to deal with and did good work. He wanted to add something he calls a RAW control, which I declined, even though I wanted more oomph out of the amp. He has for sale a Fender DR silver face that he serviced. I would trust his work. He definitely is a tinkerer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely is a tinkerer. “RAW" control brings up the mids scooped by the tone stack while providing a substantial gain increase. I imagine that’ll come in handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamer95USA Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I was looking at the Allen Sweet Spot amp. I ended up buying a Reverend Goblin 5/15 watt 1x10 tube combo amp and later a Reverend Kingsnake 20/60 watt 1x12 combo amp (one of my main gigging amps). I think the Allen amps are the next step forward in the blackface/tweed/blonde Fender type amps with some nice modern features that sound good and are useful in the real world scenarios.

JES1680 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I have an Accomplice great amp and the raw control is really nice. Blackface to tweed goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a terrible wait. It was a Kijiji deal yesterday and he’s delivering right to my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
