Here are their comments Customer Testimonials Dear Ed. My amp arrived today. I just gave it a test run and was blown away. You have just given me the final piece of the puzzle in what has been a 25 year quest for me, the quest for the ultimate harmonica tone. Thank you Ed, the amp sounds amazing, I love it. The Ed gives a beautiful warm response to all harmonica frequencies and tones, from deep lows to the very high notes, octaves and chords all sound pleasant and easy on the ear. The anti feedback circuitry works very nicely too. Michael Elliott ...no problems, and it sounded great through the in-ears! Actually the first time my guitar has ever sounded really good in the in-ears! And the sound guys were floored, the band was floored and because they loved the tone so much they worked some extra solos in for me! That's the first time that's ever happened! So it was great all around! What you've built is no ordinary amp. It's more like an instrument, and I need to learn to play it at it's full potential. Jonathan Smith In terms of my amp, let's just say I did a hired-gun gig on a Thursday with the ED. The following week I did the same gig, same band, same room, same tunes with a Boogie Studio 22. A musician I respect that was at both shows told me my tone was MUCH better the first week. Independent, unsolicited affirmation. (Don't ask me why I used the Boogie the second week. It was probably closer to the door.) Gnorm Just a quick note to say that I love the amp - Steve lent me the demo a few weeks back, and I just had to have it.... Kudos on a tremendous sounding rig that makes me want to play my strat again.... Regards, Tom Westin - Grayson Matthews Audio Design Just a note to tell you how pleased I am with the "ED". It seems that a lot of amp companies design philosophy is to build small amps because they think people can't afford large ones with all the bells and whistles, hence the glut of small amps of marginal quality. Thanks to you guys there is now a truly high end amp in a real world size and weight with out a lot of jive so called features. Congradulations on killer product. Thank you again, Kerry Crawford, Producer It's just the perfect small club amp that allows me to get great singing lead tones at moderate volume levels. The 14-watts is PLENTY loud enough. I can get a fine clean rhythm sound so easily by just backing off the guitar's volume control... .... I have noticed that the amp has an edge over many with regards to first string articulation. With most amps the smallish first string doesn't get the best response at those lower volumes but your amp gets those sounds going just fine. That's a big plus, man. Ken Sheldon - Tupelo Blue Hi, just purchased one of your amps after falling in love with it. Never heard anything with this sound quality in such a small package! Looks vintage but w/o the hassle of ever having to fix it. Built like a Mercedes. You sure it wasn't made in Germany? This amp just surpasses, no scratch that, raises the level at which amplifiers and combos must be manufactured. Thanks. Joey Dano I have really come to respect the gain boost setup. It really is very flexible. I'm surprised no one else has done it this way. Much more flexible than a channel switching amp. With a properly set up volume control on the guitar, you can work wonders with the switching options! Dan Rose I plugged in my guitar and then played for five hours straight! John P ... The Edward amp has restored my faith in playing the electric again. (It wasnt even a year ago that I was thinking I was going to give up on the electric and play only the acoustic guitar. That has now changed)... I am very pleased with the amp. It looks cool and sounds great. I was really surprised at how quiet the amp is. When you crank it up, it doesn't have that annoying hiss that seems to be so common with other amps that I have played. My band members will love that. I just put some new strings on my guitars last night and they sounded great. You were right, it was worth the wait. Thanks a lot. Mike K ...... very, very smooth on the clean side. No harsh notes and is sensitive to pick attack.... I never liked reverb with distortion but this is a different story. I have a boss dd3 and no need for it. Best reverb I've ever heard. All in all this is the best amp I've ever owned, hands down. Now I don't need to search and trade and all that shit anymore (yee-haw!). Neil B © 2011 Edward Amplification. All rights reserved.
