CHANNING AMPLIFIER DESIGN
David Channing has been modifying, repairing and re-building amplifiers for over 25 years. His experience as a recording engineer gave him the unique opportunity to work with some of the best guitar players in the world and to observe what they use and how they use it. Channing’s personal mission to create amplifiers that hearken back to classic tones from eras past soon evolved into building amplifiers for select guitar players. Today, Channing Amps is a small Southern California manufacturer of guitar amplifiers.  The CL Series marks the foundation of several amplifier designs currently in development.
