NEWS: Joe Bonamassa signature amp

Cool! Joe Bonamassa and Carol-Ann Amplifiers have teamed up to offer a new signature amp, and while the first 10 will be used and signed by Joe, they will also be availabe in a non-signed version.

Here's the press release. And kudos go to Premier Guitar for the heads-up.

North Andover, MA (March 11, 2009) -- Blues-rock guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa has teamed up with Carol-Ann Amplifiers on the new JB-100 signature amp. The JB-100 is a 100-watt 6L6-based amp with two channels and a tube FX loop.

Limited to only ten amps over the next 12 months, each JB-100 will be played by Joe at an actual gig. After each show Joe will sign a certificate of authenticity listing where he used the amp and when. Logistics permitting, the actual end user buyer is welcome to see Joe at the show playing through the amp and have him present it to them at the end of the night.

The JB-100 series will also be available in a 100-watt EL34 version, though they will not be signed by Joe. All Carol-Ann dealers can order the JB-100 signature head and the first one is currently at Make'n Music in Chicago. The next amp will be heading out to Eddie’s Guitars in the near future.
