Electrical Audio's Garnet B.T.O.

I thought his was a really interesting amp, and hopefully a cool ongoing series for gear dorks.

Watched this yesterday, big fan of Steve Albini! Definitely be cool to see more of this kind of content from him :-)

Garnet was a product of my hometown! Growing up, I used to see lots of them in the pawnshops since players preferred Fender, Marshall, Mesa, etc. It’s a real shame cause Gar Gilies was doing crazy stuff with amps that other builders still haven’t picked up on. I have his amp book, which is a random collection of mods and design ideas, plus all the Garnet schematics. If anyone wants a particular schematic then let me know.

And if you want a good display of Garnet tones then check out Big Sugar (Gordie Johnson)
