Hi everyone. My name is Adam, and I am the owner/deisgner/etc. of Satellite Amplfiiers. We build custom tube amplifiers for guitar and bass. Been building them for almost 10 years now, mostly under the radar. We have put out a real production line of about 8 different amplifiers. We are always designing new stuff as well. We do occasional repairs, and restorations, not as much since the production line came out though.

My gear interests are varied. I love all amplifiers. I've got around 100 in the collection. I also have around 50 or 60 guitars. I admit to being a Gibson man, but I have appreciation for most makers. I have an archtop fetish as well.

Some of my gear also goes off the beaten path. I have started getting into old electric pianos & organs. I was a professional ukulele & vibraphone player for a number of years. I trimmed down my uke collection, but at one time that was over 450 ukuleles. It's a long story as to how I came about them all. I also love old tube radios/jukeboxes/hi-fis, and vintage test gear.

I can probably come up with a list if anyone really wants to know more exact information.
