The Fuchs amps really caught my ear at the Crossroads Festival in Texas last year. I'd Heard Kenny Wayne Shepherds' tone, and it really knocked me out. Fat but girthy, articulate, but never shrill, responsive and really, really nice. Ken said you gotta talk to Andy! I finally got to spend some time with the Fuchs amps at the 2006 NAMM show, and asked Andy to send me one to check out. Since I received the ODS-100, it's become a big part of my live tones. Thanks a lot Andy, you rock!

We used the Fuchs ODS 112-50-W amp on the sessions for my new solo album. Both myself and Bruce Gaitsch were blown away by both the clean and dirty tones of the Fuchs. It's a truly amazing sensitive amp and we're looking forward to working with Andy and the company in the future. Keep up the great work!

If you take my Fuchs away, I shall not live another day! These pedals reek of the Fuchs sparkle that their amps reflect, a deep fingerprint in the ever-growing boutique world. ODS 50 has the clean and clear power, other amps break-up when you give em gas, real hi-fi tube clarity.

The Fuchs® ODS-50 is a real high-performance amp. When I need a big sound, the Fuchs delivers it, clean and crisp, with plenty of headroom. For blues and funk, this amp really stands out. I really like it. Even for jazz tones, I get the best sounds ever with the Fuchs 50.

With incredible dynamics and tone that any guitarist would be proud to have, the Viper is simply a must have for any rocker like myself. The clarity of tone is something I always look for, and with this badboy I don't have to look any further.

| Inspiring. The Fuchs ODS-50 transcends the connection from heart, mind and fingers to amp. It's like the amp knows what you're thinking and feeling and traces every nuance you throw at it. It has a warm articulate clean channel which honestly, I didn't like on first listen. I mean it's CLEAN. But, over a few hours of playing with it I've come to absolutely love the dynamics and touch sensitivity and the over all tone. The OD channel is amazingly warm and smooth with a nice roundness and attack. There is simply none better anywhere. Thanks Andy and Annette for letting me into your family.

I've recorded with the same Fender Vibro King for the past ten years. The second I played through the Fuchs I unplugged the Fender and never turned it on again. The way the Fuchs is voiced, I can easily dial in those elusive, warm low mids with just a touch of overdrive. I LOVE it!

Anytime I play a show, I get nothing but compliments on my tone... and fellow guitarists usually end up crowding around the TDS-100 asking me a million questions about the amp. Thanks to Andy for making such amazing amplifiers and to Debra for all of her help in getting one in my hands!

| I really am not trying to blow smoke up your butt, or get a free amp, but I think you should know something. My amps are not only some of the best sounding amps I've ever recorded with, they are THE quietest amp I've ever recorded with. You name it, I've used it (Fenders, Boogies, Musicman, Marshalls, modded, stock, etc.). I did a project for Korea a couple of days ago. The amps were plenty loud enough for my sound, but the second engineer as he was moving the mics couldn't tell that they were on. Just wanted you to know. Hope all is well. Talk to you soon. God bless.

My musical lifestyle is based upon variety. I switch styles and musical venue often, from pit work for shows to sessions to dates with orchestras to live gigs ranging from rock to jazz to classical to blues to swing to. I have always imagined that making my living in a wide variety of styles would require a wide variety of amplifiers. That was until I discovered Andy's amps, amps that can only be described as phenomenal. I have slowly dismantled my amp 'collection' until I am now left with only Fuchs amps. I have never been so delighted with my sound in over 40 years of playing. I can get every tone I have ever imagined from the Fuchs amp. Furthermore, these amps truly are musical instruments that imbue my playing with a musicality and sweetness that I have never really heard before. We all know about the inimitable Fuchs Overdrive, but I want to make special mention of the lush, warm clean sound I get from these amps. The very, very best amps ever. THANKS, ANDY

This is a great amp. huge tones ... fat, rich cleans and really creamy but cutting saturation on the gain channel, all while being highly responsive to playing dynamics. It offers a lot of variety with a deceptively simple interface / control layout ... accommodating a variety of tonal requirements and volume possibilities and allowing various types of effects operation with its extremely flexible loop design. Nice work, Andy! I'll be turning to this amp for a lot of things.

| The Tripledrive has been so flexible for what I've needed. Sparkling cleans, warm overdrive to screaming lead, it's all there. One of my favorite aspects about this amp is the bass response. Second to none in my book. I can't image playing another amplifier as versitale as this.

| Okay Andy, nothing I can say will do this amp justice. Once you play one you will understand, and nothing anyone says can prepare you for that great experience. I have owned every possible amp imaginable at one time or another. I am always on that elusive tone-hunt. My goal is always to find tools and techniques that make it easier for me to play music. To find ways and technologies that free me to play, rather than fight me. This is one of those rare amps that does just that. How I play and what I hear come together, and the more I want to express myself, the more this amp gives me. It responds to my hands like an extension of my instrument. What more could I possibly ask for? Well maybe two Fuchs amps!!! LOL Anyway, Andy is a great supporter, and I really appreciate the care and craft that goes into building a tool that helps me not only make music, but helps me make my living. Thanks Andy!

| I have owned every Fender made. As good as they are, the challenge always been; how do I get all the sustain and drive I want without losing the character of the Stratocaster? I continued my quest one afternoon in my friend's basement (essentially a boutique amp warehouse). There were only three amps that blew me away as soon as I plugged in. Without even spinning any dials I could not believe the tone. Out of all those amps, all three were Fuchs. The decision was made. Fuchs is it! I have chosen the ODS-30 because I need scalability for the variance in venue sizes that I play. For larger rooms, I just add more speakers. I love it. Thank you, Andy!

I've been a Marshall user for over 20 years and I thought that would never change ... until I played through a FUCHS. I was immediately blown away by its savage high gain tones and super sweet clean sounds. Its amazing gain structure allows my playing to be more dynamic than ever before. If I back off and play light, it can sound very soft. If I dig in and play hard, it hits like a sledgehammer. This amp is ultra responsive and it really does breathe with me. I'm a FUCHS man from here on out! Thank you Andy for making the best amplifiers in the world!

Andy Fuchs finally came up with an amp that rivals anything out there. The projection and clarity is astounding. Sweet rich fat overdrive combined with smooth singing clean tones - this amp has it ALL! I finally found an amp that can enable me to leave my irreplaceable Dumble amp at home and off the road. Andy, thank you for making the best amp that can be found anywhere!

Since I was thirteen I've been using lots of tube amps to reach the TONE that sounded in my head. I've had all the classic vintage amps from the golden era and lots of modern ones, from Great Britain to California, and all I could get was having a good sound for the whole gig. Now I definitely have reached that kind of dynamic and organic sound I need for singlecoils and humbuckers and I can't believe it yet! Every song in my track list is full with the best sound I've heard, provided by the greatest amp on earth and the one I will keep all my life. Thanks so much Andy for the gift of TONE.

| The ODS is by far the best amp I have ever worked with. I get Tone, Tone and more Tone from this small amp. Before the ODS I used to carry around 2 amps to get the sound I needed and I still wasn't happy. NO MORE BABY!!! Now my set up is way smaller and it even sounds exactly the way I want it. My ODS Kills!!!

I'm in aural heaven, kids. I played for hundreds of fans tonight in a tightly packed room thru my virgin Fuchs 150 watt monster and it was a thing of beauty for over two hours. We started out the show with Hendrix's Are You Experienced and the amp took me to the highest grounds the moment I started playing. I have no pedals as of yet but your amazing amplifier system and the tone well its fat a nasty and smooth and cool at the very same time. I am honored and privileged to be able to create my music through what is the best amplifier of my career. Never turning back. You rock!

I was tracking at Billy's studio over the weekend and used the ODS 150 on a couple of tracks. We're going to go back in later this week and continue. I must say, that amp sounds really incredible. Even better than the ODS 100 I owned! What a beautiful amp. Andy, you are a tone wizard of the highest order and an amazing gentleman. I am looking forward to getting closer with this amp.

Yes, my brother, I definitely have to say you, without a doubt, have amplifier know-how and my friend it is a sweet tone comin' out of the Fuchs. I have had so many comments and compliments. I have also A-B'd this guy to death with my Marshall Heads and my Twin souped up Reverb. Tony Perrino (my writing partner) is one dude I definitely listen to when it comes to telling you about how you or your amp sounds as he is a fine studio engineer, producer, etc. etc. etc. Tony, and it never fails, tells me the Fuchs Head sounds better than any other amp combination I use as it has such a warm FAT tone and it makes your guitar sound like a guitar. Hell, Andy, I REST MY CASE.

| Andy Fuchs has done a great job designing his new Plush line of pedals. I have always had a pet peeve when it comes to distortion pedals - it bothers me when the output of the effect is lower than your amp's original signal. This is definitely not the case with the Plush pedal line. You can easily achieve unity gain or boost well past all with a smooth round sound, great feel and very low noise. That alone got my attention. The next most important thing Andy got right is the ability to drive the front end of a clean amp. All of the plush pedals can sound like an amp channel rather than a pedal. Another stand out feature is the preservation of instrument character. Your guitar has a tone and these pedals embellish it rather than mask it. These plush pedals do for your tone what spinner rims do for your ride they PIMP it out in fine style.

| I love the tone of my Overdrive Supreme. There's a wide variety of very high quality sounds in this amp, and the design makes them very accessible by a push of a button. I love the jazz and rock settings. They offer two different but very useful approaches making this an extremely versatile amplifier. The amp is very responsive to player dynamics and the combinations of the overdrive, gain and mid-boost controls give up a wide variety of great juicy tones. The clean tones go from sparkling to retro, to dark warm jazz tones. This amp works great in a variety of settings and has become, for me, a tool of choice.
