Lambeth Amplification is an O.C. original - The first amps were designed in a coffee shop in Fullerton less then a block away from the former site of a little shop owned by one Leo Fender - all the amps and cabinets were constructed by hand in Anaheim - and every amp is tested in Huntington Beach.
After years of playing guitar and bass in local bands and repairing other company's amps, Josh Lambeth of Lambeth Amplification was tired of having to settle for either the mediocre sounds of the mass produced amps with a famous logo on them, or the maintenance and reliability issues that came with using 30 and 40 year old amps on stage night in and night out. He knew from experience that what the gigging musician needed was a consistently GREAT sound from a reliable amp. Unfortunately the market today offers feature-heavy amps that are capable of producing hundreds of mediocre tones and a handful of good tones, but rarely a GREAT tone.
That is where Lambeth Amplification comes into the picture. We build our amps with one idea in mind. NO COMPROMISES!! Only GREAT tone.
Each of our amps is designed with a specific great sound in mind.
