Where to get a good Rockett Clone?

Post by flyinryan11 »

Would really appreciate any suggestions on where or who to go to in order to get a good accurate Rockett clone without breaking the bank. Thought about trying to build myself but I have too many projects as is. Thanks very much for any suggestions.
All the best,
Ryan C

Without breaking the bank and 'custom made amplifier' are pretty much mutually exclusive. For a builder to make one off amps, they have to pay close to full price that you'd pay for the components and therefore the cost goes up. It takes MANY many hours to build any custom amp like this. Sometimes upwards of 20 hours... even at 50$ an hour that most trades pay highly skilled labor, that's an additional 1000$ just in labor alone.

There are some companies that make them in larger quantity, but still the price isn't usually 'cheap' You have to still pay for hand made amps that don't come off of some kind of automated line, or you're paying someone in a third world country that's possibly paying their workers extremely low wages...

Either second hand from a builder that you like or Ceriatone.

But would you charge time and a half for working the night shift?

Michael from Modulus Amplification sells the kits and I believe he also sells an amp building service.
