Title: Mango amps? Anybody know anything about them?
Post by: Perandor on January 07, 2008, 10:01:54 PM

I'm looking for a new amp and I read some good reviews about them.  Does anyone know of them and have heard them?  Btw, they are made in the UK.  Thanks,
Joe

I believe they're you're regular 18w style clones with a couple of little tweaks.......

I've heard of them, and I've heard them. They are built about 50 miles away from me in South Wales, and a guitar shop near me has a couple in. They do a 10w and an 18w head, and they also do a modded 5w Epi amp, with a power attenuator built in - all Class A. I've tried the 5w and the 18w, and they sound lovely. Also heard them demo'd at the 2007 LGS, by a far better player than me, and they sounded nice there too.

There's plenty of excellent quality amps like them out there, but if you're a classic rock and blues man I reckon they're well worth investigating.  If I remember correctly, the guy in the shop told me the 18w head and 2x12 cab was £1250 or so. Hope that helps.

Yeah, thanks Simon.  I've been to their website, but no sound clips were available.
