Musikmesse 2013: new and notable amps in pictures

Marshall Offset 1-watt head and cab

Musikmesse 2013: We trawled the show floor here in Frankfurt to find the most exciting new developments in the world of amps. Click through to see what we turned up...

The ‘full stop’ to Marshall’s 50th Anniversary 1-watt combos. Hands up who doesn’t want one?

Engl Ironball 20-watt compact head

Two channels of valve tone in a smart, portable chassis. We’ve seen this before, and are eagerly awaiting review units.

Orange Crush CR120

The new top of the line model for the brand’s solid state amps. There are also 60-watt 1x12, and 120-watt 2x12 combos. Excellent build quality, very attractive prices.

Bogner Atma 18

A three-channel compact head that was debuted at NAMM, but has moved on in development since. Bogner says ‘summer’ for availability - bring it on!

Laney Ironheart 30

The big one is great, the IRT Studio is really great, so here’s a mid-power, do-it-all 1x12 combo version of this very capable series of amps.

D'Angelico amplifier

The revived guitar brand is developing an amplifier for jazz, built by Two-Rock. So far only a prototype, but very interesting nonetheless.

Carlsbro

Carlsbro has a new ex-Marshall management team and some some smart new amps. The Kickstart range is entry level, Evo is midrange and VAC is the top of the line. Lots of options, very accessible prices.
