The Audio Eyra OG provides the player exceptional tonal response, versatility and compact design that is suited for the local gig, tour or studio session. The Original Gangster was developed by Tim Thompson in 2022 based on circuitry influenced by vintage Gibson amplifiers’ preamp tube - the 6SJ7-GT. Given its almost “hi-fi” capabilities and unique single-ended driver and output section were devised to take that performance to very usable output levels.

This Class A amplifier provides the musician with rich and complex tone that is vibrant with musical information. The Circuit’s transparency maintains the individual instrument’s characteristics throughout the volume range, no matter the level of overdrive. Speed and Sensitivity live within this chassis.

The first front panel control is the input attenuator. It’s purpose? To tame hot input signals trhat may be present from various pedals. This provides provides a control to tweak the interface between outboard effects and the reaction of the pre-amp. Second, the user can control the internal compression of the 6SJ7 or 6SK7 preamp tube. Tone and Volume controls round out the front panel interface.

On the rear panel you will finds a selector switch that will move the rectification from tube to solid state. This adds further flexibility in attack and full-volume feel. The user can substitute 5AR4, 5U4GB, or 5Y3GT rectifiers for various levels of tightness and/or “brown sound”.

Sold as an amplifier head or short stack with 1x12 or 1x15. Customer has the option of coverings and tube selection based on availability and subject to additional cost.
