I think it's a good move.  Removes any possible Martamp/Matamp confusion.

i must admit. i didnt know martamp before getting involved with this forum. and i was confused by that.
however, it did make me check out the martamps and then i realised they are other cool looking amps.
bonus!

The martamp matamp thing was odd and confusing. Good move (better than VHTs recent change to...whatever the hell it is now, for sure).

I think that is a much better name although do like the look of the Martamp logo on Twinfans JTM45 model!

Overall, probably a good move I think. What's the new logo look like Martin ?

Nice one, I just looked at the prices on your website (I've not seen them before, are they new?) and I'm quite shocked at how reasonably priced the amps are. I can't wait to hear this new 1 watt roadster.

if it sounds pretty much like the 18w version i may well be tempted - that thing really made my ears perk up last saturday

Oooo...

I must say, i dont know if i'd buy an amp because i've already got what i want most likely but his headcabs are beautiful!

the white and oxblood red ones... gorgeous!

Thanks for the positive comments!  :)

I've been planning the change for a while, but been trying to avoid the dreaded TLA. I failed in the end!

The Roadstar Cub sounds very like the 18W.  8)

Cheers,

i think it's a good idea, before you started posting on this forum i always wondered what was going on with martamp too, as it sounded so close to matamp. I did like your old logo, though :lol:

what's TLA? not too good on acronyms... :lol:

Does this mean I get one of the last Martamps or one of the first MJW amps? - coincidentally my initials are MJW  8)

Its a good move and I like the new logo too  :lol:

I agree with everyone here-tis a good move and the amps look spectacular.

im just brushing up on my skills before i start COFDM Amplifiers.

MJW - Manufacturing Jah's Weed!!!!!

also, the logo, if you drew it some fancy way, would be the same flipped over 180 degrees. you just need a cunning 'J' !

I like the new logo :) Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford an MJW of some kind.

Martin,

Any more info on the Roadstar Cub, output valve, price etc?

Or is it all under wraps until the official launch?

Like the name change and logo btw, who knows one day the original 'Martamps' may be highly sought after collectors items like Dumbles....

I like the new logo Martin - very restrained and classy.

Thanks!  :)

The Cub is £420, subject to my price review which is underway.

The output valve is an ECC82 and it has 2x ECC83. It gives about 1W in push-pull, and it's a rocking little amp.

good call, that'd be awesome. just need to be careful that the "J" doesn't end up looking like a backwards "Z"... :lol:

HOLY GOLDSTAR GAS!!! I'm too used to dual channels amp but a head accepting multiple valve types from 5 to 10W with the possibility of a single EL34 just sounds godly! WANT!
