The Fralin Model with an Eminence 15' Legend series Speaker.
Per Lindy's Recommendation our Fralin
Model comes the Eminence Legend series speaker. After weeks
of testing, Lindy's found a speaker he prefers over the
Weber Alnico. The new Eminence offers a tighter more
versatile speaker that retains the high end sparkle Lindy is
famous for. We totally agree with Lindy decision to go with
the new speaker.
Don't worry as we know there are
people who prefer the tone of an Alnico speaker and still
offer the Weber 15' high powered Alnico speaker as an
option. Please let us know when placing the order as this
will add an extra cost to the amp as well as delivery time.

When Lindy called us
about an idea he had for an amplifier we jumped at the
chance. Being avid users of his pickups for many years
and the ear Lindy has for tone was just the challenge we
needed to design and build an amp he would put his name
on.
After several conversations, Lindy wanted an amp voiced
primarily for clean full bodied articulate tone. It had
to perform well at a low volume, be as light as possible
and cool looking.
We made several visits to his shop in Richmond to play
and listen to many amps in Lindy's impressive
collection. Only then did we get a good sense of what
it was he was after. We finally agreed on an all tube
design that is totally hand wired.
After several prototypes the
design evolved into a single channel, cathode biased,
6L6 powered amp with built in spring reverb and a bright
switch for Lindy's P90s. Careful attention was paid the
overall size and weight of his design. He insisted the
amp be as portable and lightweight as possible yet still
produce the warm rich low end responce tube amps
produce..Lindy's custom made custom made 20X20 cabinet
had to be designed along with an integral diffuser to
tame those beamy highs. Lindy's speaker of choice was a
custom made Eminence 15' Legend series for big clean
chimey tone, a nice compliment to his pickups.
Lindy spared no expense when it came to the kind of
components we used , hand wound Mercury Magnetics
transformers together with Gavitt cloth covered wire.
We back this amp up with a 10 year limited warranty on
all electrical components except tubes and speakers.
As far as how the amp turned out, well
here it is with Lindy's name on it . Let me tell you we
couldn't be happier. This is a Tele pickers dream
