JAZZ LEGENDS ON HENRIKSEN AMPLIFIERS

John Abercrombie

A fat, warm sounding amp that works both as a single combo amp, or as a second amp in my stereo set up.

Thanks for a fantastic musical product.

Jimmy Bruno

The best amplifier in the world. Bar none. Henriksen. Get one!

Bobby Broom

It’s the only amp I play. It does just what it says, amplifies my jazz guitar. No coloration or proprietary sonic characteristics for me to work around. Just me and my guitar sound. I can enhance frequencies to suit my taste. It has concert power with gigging portability. The perfect amp for any venue setting and my amp of choice for nearly ten years!

Fareed Haque

I am so happy with this one piece of equipment that is literally transforming my touring life. I take it with me everywhere. I use it for my electric guitar my jazz guitar and my classical guitar and my hybrid sitar guitars - really it does it all.

Gerry Beaudoin

Through all my years of performing and recording jazz guitar I have always searched for an amp that gives me clarity of tone and “my sound” no matter what the playing or performing situation. In Henriksen I have found that amp. Plenty of power in a light weight package for blues gigs with J.Geils or guitar duos with Bucky Pizzarelli or Howard Alden. Once you try a Henriksen all your other amps will go in your local want ad.
