Sloane Amplification would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. 2024 was an exciting and successful year for us!. One of the major of the highlights of last year included YouTube reviews by @belligerentamateur (Kyle Bull) and @TONEWARSgearshow (Jarrod Grumblatt), which allowed us to reach out to a wider audience of gear enthusiasts than ever before. Over the past year we have expanded sales in multiple states across the U.S. and Canada as well as continuing to exhibit at guitar and gear shows throughout Ohio and surrounding states.
Looking forward in the upcoming year, we are working on a number of new things including:
A 20 watt model amp in a smaller cab that can be considered the little brother to the Antares Standard. This amp would have the high gain preamp tone of the Antares in a 19 inch wide cab like the Regulus and Canoupus.
Last year we received few orders in which customers sent us the specific tolex of their choice. We will continue to offer amps with black and white tolex and will consider expanding to other colors.
Based on the enthusiastic response of the You Tube reviews of the Antares, we are planning to have the Arcturus and Regulus reviewed in the first quarter of 2025. Stay tuned for more details!
Also in the works for 2025 are plans for two new models. One will be a Trainwreck inspired amp and the other would be a new high gain model. Suggestions are welcome for the new high gain model!
On an administrative note, unfortunately due to increase costs of materials we will have a modest price increase of $100 on all 50 watt amps. We are hoping this will be the only price increase in 2025 however, we will continue to monitor the cost of materials and the impact of potential tariffs. Please know that we are committed to maintaining our core value of producing high quality amps at affordable prices.
Another product expansion we are anticipating for the second half of the year is offering 1x12 and 2x12 Sloane Amp Cabs.
We will also be adding a swag/merch shop on the website as well as a news /blog area.
We would like to thank all our customers and followers for your continued interest and support of Sloane Amplification. In addition we would like to extend special thanks to Kyle Bull (You Tube), Jarrod Grumblatt (You Tube), Joshua Nelson (website design, graphics design, and cab builder), and Alex Catlow from Sirius Amplification (PCB and faceplate design).
