II. OUR STORY Analog Outfitters is a rapidly growing boutique amplifier company that builds world-class guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and related products. Our manufacturing process is truly unique in that the vast major- ity of our raw materials come from unwanted or otherwise obsolete organs made by such manufacturers as Baldwin, Hammond, and Wurlitzer. These companies manufactured their organs with the best mate- rials available. As a result, all of our speaker cabinets are made from up-cycled wood from species such as mahogany, redwood, walnut, and maple. Additionally, our amplifiers benefit from the use of vintage output transformers that impart a classic tone unrivaled by companies who are forced to use modern output transformers. Analog Outfitters officially began in 2002 in a basement workshop in Champaign, IL. Ben Juday had spent the three previous years at the University of Illinois pursuing a graduate degree in Geography with the ultimate goal of being a college professor. In 2000, Ben had the great fortune of meeting physics pro- fessor Steve Errede who was teaching a class entitled “Physics of Electronic Musical Instruments”. Ben asked Professor Errede if he could sit in on the course, and they became fast friends and Errede became an unofficial mentor to Ben. 15 years later, this collaborative relationship continues with Errede playing an integral design role in almost all of Analog Outfitters products. From 2002 thru 2011, Analog Outfitters specialized in repairs and live sound. These 9 years were for- mative in giving the team at Analog Outfitters a thorough understanding of the technical side of the music business. After repairing thousands of pieces of equipment, the team learned what designs stood up to the rigors of the road, and what designs failed after 6 months. In 2011, Ben Juday decided to build a custom amplifier for fun with no intentions of starting an amplifier business. He had hundreds of old Hammond organ amplifiers lying around the shop, as well as some old signs and some empty scientific equipment cases. After much trial and error, the first Sarge amplifier was born. The rest, as they say, is history. ORGANIC 15 SPECS: Constructed from high quality woods such as redwood (2) EL-84 OUTPUT TUBES and mahogany, the ORGANIC 15 is the perfect amplifier for those seeking a powerful and versatile amp (2)12AX7 PREAMPLIFIER TUBES that comes with personality.

The ORGANIC 15 gives all of the powerful performance of the Sarge inside of a beautifully VINTAGE POWER AND OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS crafted hardwood cabinet. CATHODYNE PHASE INVERTER THE SARGE SPECS: Enclosed in a unique enclosure constructed from recycled (2) EL84 POWER TUBES steel, the Sarge is built tough and highly portable for any occasion. Each enclosure is slightly different due to parts (2) 12AX7 PREAMPLIFIER TUBES sourcing, and features a unique case that is able to withstand (1) 5Y3 RECTIFIER TUBE any potential damage. Small enough to fit on any cabinet, 8 OHMS OUTPUT IMPEDANCE the amplifier is powered by two EL84s in the power section, 15 WATT CLASS A POWER two 12AX7s in a preamp setting and a 5Y3 rectifier. This allows the Sarge to provide a gritty and authoritative VINTAGE POWER AND OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS tone that is able to make itself heard regardless of the composition of the sound. THE SUPER SARGE SPECS: The Super Sarge is a more powerful version of our Sarge (4) EL84 POWER TUBES model, with four EL84 power tubes. This model resulted from a collaborative effort between Analog Outfitters and (2) 12AX7 PREAMP TUBES Nels Cline of Wilco. Nels wanted an amplifier with the tone of (1) 5U4 RECTIFIER the Sarge but with more clean headroom for live applications; 4 OR 8 OHMS OUTPUT IMPEDANCE the resulting amplifier is equally at home in the studio or on 35 WATT CLASS A POWER stage. VINTAGE OUTPUT TRANSFORMER ROAD AMP SPECS: The Road Amp is specifically designed to be tough, (2) 6V6 OUTPUT TUBES and its outer shell is constructed from decommissioned road signs; having proven themselves for decades on (1) 12AX7 PREAMPLIFIER TUBE the side of America’s streets, these signs are now ready (1) 12AU7 PHASE INVERTER TUBE to be reborn as the unique case for our new line (1) 5U4GB RECTIFIER TUBE of tone machines. Like our other amplifiers, the Road 8 OHMS OUTPUT IMPEDANCE Amp is built from vintage Hammond organ amplifiers repurposed to create the sparkling tone that only vintage 20 WATT CLASS A POWER transformers can produce.

The Scanner features an amazing vibrato and reverb The top of The Scanner is made from a high-quality, clear, sound. We made it out of repurposed vintage vibrato ¼” acrylic material. Additional features include a pad scanners and reverb tanks from unwanted Hammond switch on the ¼” input, XLR line input and output jacks, a organs. In short, our endeavor was a success. line output attenuator, a 4 pin XLR switching jack, and a ¼” TRS input for an expression pedal to control the speed The Scanner’s reverb circuit is very simple; hi-fi grade of the unit.The XLR output is constantly present for components drive the reverb tank and then mix that connection to a recording console and can be used as a signal with the vibrato signal.
