Your City's Gear Supply

[ReginaldBisquet]

I just realized that I could build an entire rig from stuff designed & manufactured in my fair city of Houston!

Red Star cabinets

Marchione guitars

... and then, if you needed parts, we have:

All Parts

Tejas Tubes (for n.o.s. tubes)
http://www.tejastubes.com/


Pretty cool, eh? How about in your city?

 

[amp boy]

a lot of everything good has something to do with Texas.
...just something i've noticed the last few years.

kinda like,
hey i like that..........where's it built....who makes that.....what's that sound.....texas.

 

[big jilm]

I'm in Tejas too - lots of good stuff in the Lone Star State! Played a Marchione - nicest guitar I've ever played.

 

[clc12rock]

Pretty good stuff in NC too. Carr, Swart, and some pedal makers. Probably some guit makers too, but I only know Carr and Swart for sure. But we have great sales in the Triangle with Indoor Storm, Fat Sound and Destroy All Guitars.

North Carolina is amp maker mecca. Add Germino, 3 Monkeys to the list.

Let's see...Columbus, OH.......ummm.......well.........Cabbage Cases is about all I can think of.

Mcinturff and Gadow are some great guitar makers from NC.

Sorry, is Houston is a city in Japan or China? Ooh... Houston, Texas!

Hey there's nothing better than a Christmas Miracle to Help Restore a Little Hope for our Nation!

Huh?

 

[yeahyeahyeah]

Around Charlotte you have:

Guitars from Landou guitar company

Amps by Oldfield tube amps and I believe Top-Hat is made somewhere in NC too

Pedals by NOC3 effects and CheeseBlocks Effects

 

[Mike Hunt]

Nothing cool coming out of Hartford

 

[Blakemore Effects]

I'm in Nashville, so it's almost not fair haha.

We have the Timmy being made about 25 minutes away. That has to count for something.

 

[Kaji13]

Seattle....we all know what's from Seattle.

 

[riff1006]

Conklin Guitars lives here. Other than that, it's tough to even get an amp repair. I usually drive an hour to get that done. There's one guy here that doesn't return calls and another that will take your gear and sit on it for 6 months while you try to "motivate" him to do something.

 

[Mudder]

Portland, Or has Soloway and Koll (I think). Just south of here is Subdecay Pedals.

 

[texasturner]

Let's see...Columbus, OH.......ummm.......well.........Cabbage Cases is about all I can think of.

Grew up in Columbus... Godz, Rosie Mcguffy Lane... some good bands back in he day in cowtown

 

[circusinthesky]

Portland, Oregon boasts;
Catalinbread
Jack Deville
and a few others. Can't recall the names right now.

 

[Nork]

Ottawa's got the dudes @ Empress!

Don't forget:
Mojotone in Wilmington/Burgaw
Blackout Effects in Asheville
Moog in Asheville
Zion Guitars was in Greensboro and is now in Raleigh, I think

 

[markw1980]

Arkansas has: Revenge Amps, EV Speakers, Toad Suck Tones Amps, and Roger Brooks Guitars. We did have a Gretsch factory, and a Mosrite factory. Oddly enough, both of those were in a little town called Booneville. Heard of it? Probably not, and if you have, it is because of Gretsch and Mosrite!

 

[travisvwright]

I'm too far away in NC to consider anything listed so far as local. But I do have John Buscarino. Don't normally use pedals and he has his own line of amps so I guess that's an entire rig. Maybe I should learn jazz.
