We just sold a model B before the first demo model is finished being built, I am thinking about offering it as a combo as well now....

Pics will come when the box is done...

Looks like the model B will be mostly ready for the Detroit showcase, it may just need a back panel which will not stop us from bringing it along, it will still make noise

Man, I wish I could make it, but that's just a little too far to drive.

I look forward to hearing more about the single ended amp.

The model C or "sCh-ark" is very aggressive thus the nick-name It has a nice clean mode but with much less volume than the mean mode, this things really cranks through our 2x12 cab:RoCkIn 1 12au7, 1 12ax7 and a 6L6 or EL-34. Not based off any design that exists, totally unique little amp:RoCkIn

The model B which is almost complete, box and all has a new second nick-name; the "Tweed-face". Sounds like two different vintage amps in one, Very addictive to play

Pictures don't do justice to these amps...I got to really look them over at the show in Tennessee and the cabinet work is truly fine art. I talked to the tall guy who does the cabinet work...forgot his name - and he was way too humble - these are top notch. Even my wife thought it would be cool to have one in our living room...

Thanks so much Steve for the pat on the back!! I will tell Matt that you think so highly of his wood working skills!

Thanks for taking the time to check us out in Franklin, we love meeting new people and talking their ears off

God bless,

Bill

The newest model got some serious demo time Saturday and we got an order for it too!

There is another amp in my office that is begging to be released, a new twist on the Princeton and with a gain input that really cooks!

The first Model B will be a signature model for the incredible Detroit guitarist Dave Humphries. It will be called the DH21, Dave played that amp for a very long time on Saturday and wowed people with his incredible playing skills and warm personality. Dave has long been one of my fav guitarists and I am thrilled to have him as the first artist to own this new Ark model. He has agreed to go on road trips with us to demo the amps from now on, no more need for me to hack around for hours on end any more
