| "I just brought it to the studio and cranked some stuff with my PRS - really cool tones, just beautiful articulate cleans and the overdrive is so responsive, just crying lead notes. It's just a fantastic amp - you should be proud. But I have to say, late at night, when I have to keep the volume at its lowest point possible, I still get these beautiful expressive tones. I have to say I'm very happy with my new amp." |

| "While I can't afford a Fuchs amp yet, when I saw someone on Craigslist post a brand new Plush Cream, I jumped at the chance to grab it. When I got it home I really couldn't believe the sounds I was getting out of this pedal. It's a TS808 with body and soul. Tone knob down and it acts like a really decent fuzz. Tone knob up and I'm into treble booster land. Incredible! My only problem was now I had the perfect pedal to round out my rhythm tone ... and my leads, but on different settings!
The first thing I thought was "I have to get another!" Then I saw your Plush Extreme Cream and I was glad to see so many other people felt the same way.
In front of my Bassman, Garnet Rebel and Marshall JMP this pedal adds +10 to all of them. Killer work. I'm at work myself and all I can think about is getting home to play. Let me know if you ever need an apprentice in Canada!" |

Very sweet!!! Thanks for building such cool stuff. I am a picky bastard when it comes to sound and your stuff sounds great!" |

I finally plugged my Strat in there around midnight last night, had a very short conversation with Lansdown Police Dept. right around 12:20am! But... wow, the Strat was KILLIN'. I use no effects and plug straight into the amp." |

All I can say [is] wow! It is ridiculously simple to set up and it produces all the best classic rock sounds from yesterday just like that. And you actually do not need to wind it up to get a good tone – I had gain set to 9:30 (o'clock) and I was able to have plausible Angus tone when digging to the strings hard enough (I was using Gatton tele during the session, I do have a nice SG but I forgot to swap guitars while enjoying the tone)." |

| "I have my TDS amp now for a reasonable time and I want to thank you personally. This amp has the gain and tone structure that I have in mind for a long time. It sounds musical, mature, timeless and is very sensitive. The biggest compliment I ever received as a musician is that I sound like myself, no matter on which gear I play, but for the first time it also matches in my mind. This is the biggest compliment that I can give to you." |

I know you hear that all the time, but I've owned many, many (too many) tube amps over the years (Marshall, Fender, Vox, Ampeg, Mesa, etc... etc...). Nothing else has come close to this. The elusive tone has always been greener on the other side. That never-ending quest for sonic salvation is over, hallelujah this is the promised land! (Got it used for $400?!!! Total score of a lifetime. Poor punk rock kid didn't know what he had!) Anyway... Thank you very much!" |

| "I've had the amp for about a month now and my reaction is the same as when I talked to you after first firing it up. This is a really, really, really good amp. I haven't found anything that it won't do for me. Sounds stellar with a Strat, LP, ES and my Tele has never felt or sounded better. The feel compared to what I had been used to (vintage Fender stuff, Boogies, 65 Amps) is an order of magnitude more satisfying and immediate and the range of tones is really wide. It makes pretty much all of my other equipment just so much excess baggage. I've never owned an amp that is this dynamic and expressive. Seriously... this thing with the Tele... it's shocking." |

| "I'm a session guitarist, singer, and a pop country writer. I'm crazy about old-school country guitar pickin' as well. So I'm always searching for my tone! How original, huh? I'm playing and touring with hit writer Anthony Smith. He has number ones for Goerge Strait, Rascal Flatts, etc. Any hoo, I was at the rental place at soundcheck here in Nashville just snooping around and plugged into the triple channel amp of yours and... MYGOD! I use an old '62 Brownface Deluxe that has always been with me. The clean channel was kinda like my Brown Deluxe circuit but with WAY more possibilities, tone and forwardness. Is it me or are the country pickers all missin the boat on these amps?! It simply makes a regular Fender circuit sound limp and unsure of itself. You make GREAT sounding amps. BRAVO!" |

| Ford Thurston (Nashville, TN) |
|
| "WOW! A big thanks to you and your entire staff/crew. What an incredible amp! I have been lusting for a tone machine like this for years. Unbelievable response and dynamics/overtones and with virtually no operational hum/hiss! I can't unplug, so gratifying. I can now again focus on practicing and developing my own voice on the instument - as it should be. A sincere thanks again!" |

I also want to thank you for your excellent customer service and for the help you gave me in finding the sound I was looking for. I am definitely a satisfied customer." |

It is exceeding my expectations by the moment. I really can't believe it. I am by no means a media darling, but I do play nationally in Canada and a lot of people are going to be hearing me play with your amp. My last CD earned me a nomination for "Best Blues Guitarist" from the Toronto Blues Society. I can't wait to hear what happens on my next CD." |

| "OK! I spent a few hours yesterday with the Fuchs opened up and with it sitting right next to the Dumble. I went back and forth and dialed in the Fuchs as close as I possibly could to the big D. I used the Mesa 4/12 for both while I was doing it. What’s difficult is when I dialed in the single notes on the Fuchs to sound like the Dumble's, then the chords were too bright. When I dialed in the chords to match the Dumble's, then the single notes were to dark. SOOO... I put on my little gray thinking cap and set it right in the middle! Now the Fuchs sounds great all over! A little brighter than the Dumble on the bottom, and a little darker on the top, but a great balance, and SMOOTH singing sustain for DAYS with plenty of brightness on top, not dull. VERY VERY GOOD! I think I am going to try an EV in it and, if that works, close off the back entirely to help the bottom end on the little combo. I can always plug in any of my cabs as well. KILLER amp for a price that is a total STEAL. I will do some more clips asap. These things are a downright BLAST to play!

| "Took the plunge and ecstatic with the high-Fi sound of this monster. Cleans BEG you to play longer... very dynamic in rock mode... tamed in Jazz without compression, which baffles me... BIG difference between the 2. 30 watt combo... plenty versatile and loud enough for vintage rock R&B band... reverb is FINALLY as it should be... absolutely awesome... Best effects loop I have ever heard... out of about 40 amps I've owned, this is the most versatile hands down so that's a 10! Dead quiet except for full tilt overdrive. I was a tad disappointed with overdrive at first until the Mahogany MONSTER '87 PRS was plugged in... Hello, Carlton & Ford and then some... woah! Cascading gain stages has always been my approach and Fuchs figures out how to do it right for "that sound" I have always craved. Each guitar retains its character very well. The cleans have an astounding hi-fi quality as if running through a NEVE console or high end tube preamp... amazing textured cleans very dynamic and very 'stringy'... beautiful! Been through about 200 gigs by first owner and looks dead mint... tight and very well built. First guy said never had a problem whatsoever. Man, these guys are amazing... answer emails immediately. Heard they were really good, etc. Been there for me with questions every time. I L O V E the sound and it is more than I expected at any price. Feature heavy as amps go. It was the most I have spent in a while on a rig and worth every cent. Life's too short to let life or wife rule! Yes, I'd get another." |

Couldn't get those thick and deep reverb out of it, as possible with the Plush Verbrator. You can dial in a big variety of different reverb sounds, from small room to large stadion, only with the 2 knobs (Level, Decay). I run it right before the regular amp input jack, after all my other effect pedals. I put in a JJ tube, which is known to be very stable and dead quiet (no microphonic). It alway sounds natural, warm & full, very musically, and your guitar sound is always altered in a nice manner. If you like high quality reverb you MUST try this pedal!" |

I've heard that guy play through so many rigs, 5150, Fender Super Reverb, Soldano Slo, Mesa 2/90 rig, vintage Marshall Super Lead, Fuchs ODS and TDS. He sounds the same through each but colored differently. And, to be honest, I think the Fuchs rigs are so touch sensitive that he is able to unleash all sorts of different riffs and goodies that I haven't heard him pull off with his other rigs." |

In 22 years of gigging, touring, and recording I've never heard anything like it. 21 watts of pure guitar heaven, with just the right touch of out of control mayhem and carnage thrown in for good measure. It's the best sounding piece I've ever owned, and may well be the best amp ever!" |

As luck would have it, I was asked to sit in for the regular guitarist who was suffering a bout of carpal tunnel, so I got to play all night instead of on just a few tunes. I am more than pleased with this amp! I often suffer from ear fatigue later on in a gig and tend to "lose" my sound. This did not happen last night. The tone of this amp is so consistent from clean gain to full overdrive it cut through the mix without having to be offensively loud. Instead of wondering where my amp went, I was able to focus on my playing. I don't think that's too much to ask and the ODS delivered beautifully!" |

I'm able to hang in that tonal pocket that is easy on the ears and warm yet is still articulate and can cut through the mix. After my first rehearsal with the FUCHS my band was like, "You really aren't gonna play those other amps anymore are you?" I told them that I'm going to keep them around, but I hope that I don't need to use them. Great work! I'm smiling bigger, and sounding better." |

| "The purchase of my Fuchs ODS-50 combo and subsequent factory mods and hand-tuning were far more than I would ordinarily spend on one music gear item but the resulting amp far exceeds all of my hopes and expectations and ended any interest in other amps altogether. Were I operating on a larger scale budget I could easily see spending $50K on a Dumble if it were that much better than my Fuchs (very hard to imagine this - my Fuchs is THE perfect amp for me). These amps definitely have their own thing going on." |

I put its output directly into the amp section of my Line 6 Spider Valve amp and totally had a blast tweaking knobs and jamming. I particularly enjoyed how easy it was for me to get some squealing going when I had the gain, high and output knobs up a bit. I regret not playing through the display model you had in your room today, so you could have seen me first hand having some fun with the display box. Oh well, I at least want you to know I'll be having some fun with this bad ass little box for many years to come.
I put a link with a picture up on my Facebook page, so I hope all of [my] guitar playing friends will give you guys a good look, if they have not already." |

I plugged into the Train 45 with a 412 greenback loaded cabinet and the sound was AWESOME! Wow! I am amazed at the punch and the lowend growl I could get! It is the best amp! I have never used a Fuchs and am still excited at the sounds we were able to get! Jamie dialed in some great tones and hearing is truly believing! If you need a Maryland Fuchs rep Jamie Cerniglia is the man! I am saving my money and hope to buy one very soon! It sounded great with every guitar I ran through it. It loved Les Pauls, Strats and really loved PRS! Thank you so much for creating this amp! It is the greatest!" |

| "Really easy to use: two channels (Warm and Hot) each with tone, gain and volume controls. This pedal sounds outstanding. The Warm channel is a replica of the Fuchs Cream pedal, a great tube amp like deep sounding overdrive. The Hot channel is a touch more overdriven, with more sustain and a sharper, clearer attack, perfect for solos. So far this pedal sounds like a millions bucks and gives me great versatility with its dual channel feature. To make room for it on my pedal board, I'm putting aside an 80's JRC4558 equipped Boss SD-1, a Vox Satchurator and an MXR DD-11." |

And as you may or may not know, before purchasing this amp from you, I did a lot of independent research solely trying to talk myself out of buying this amp. Needless to say, I'm glad the research and your advice convinced me otherwise. So, for the second time in my musical life, this amp represents another great buy, compared to my Gibson L5. The easy way to explain my excitement about this amp is, "Wow". This amp was made for the soloist. This amp has a soul. I heard notes in my music that I've never realized was there. For the first time in my musical life, I experienced the "space" between the notes that I was playing. My sense of timing and articulation was dead-on even at 120 bpm. My wife, for the first time in 20 years of playing (more like making noises) said the amp sounded sweet and vocal. The only thing I've ever heard from my wife was, "please turn it down". Thank you for turning me on to a fascinating amp!" |

| "Got [my Royal Plush] on Friday... I dig it! Does EXACTLY what I had hoped - gives that nth degree smoothness and extra sustain at quieter clean & OD settings. It is quiet and also helps bring out that nice note definition "snap" without affecting the amp tone I've set up. Who could ask for more? It blows away the two-knob Keeley I had which, as you said, has more of a "sound". Keeley tends to 'squash' the sound, the Royal Plush just does what I described above. I guess you could say it's subtle, but only in the sense that most compressors add some "roundness" to a guitar sound usually at the expense of High Frequency content. This does not, which makes it a perfect companion piece to the ODS. Really does nice things with the mid boost on in OD mode! Yeah, a great piece to add to what was already a great sound; now it's even better! FYI, I have the level set at about 2:00, which appears to be unity gain, and the bias set between 9-11 as I'm still playing around a little to see how much I can get away with." |

unit. In a bigger, more "exposing" room, I did too.
Your shit rocks." |

| "Man, I am a tone freak. I have always been looking for these sounds. I'm also a gain freak, trying to get that perfect OD/distortion (like everyone else). Cleans/ODs doesn't matter. Pedals or amps, you have blown me away, and I'm sad that I didn't hear you guys sooner. I love something about everything FUCHS has their name on, so strange. Great Job." |

| "I recieved the ODS last week ... earlier than expected I might add ... and it sounds absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier with the amp and service I recieved from you." |

| "B-t-w, traded in a Diezel VH4 for this (plus some $). Will never look back. Lots of good stuff on a Diezel VH4, but tonally no match whatsoever for this FUCHS. Night and day. A whole year with the VH4, and in one gig with the Frost 100, my whole playing game changed. Must say that I should have stuck with the Diezel Einstein, but even that is no FUCHS. The Frost 100 is no longer in production, the FUCHS Viper is the next evolution of this amp. It is the Holy Grail, for me. First show with the amp I kept turning to my bandmates and saying "TONE" over and over again. Unbelievable. Classic. Like having a totally fine girlfriend, I don't even care about looking at other amps now. I look at cabinets, but who doesn't? Diezel schmiezel. (Although all props to Peter, a hell of a nice guy, and his amps are good - however... if you are trying to choose between the two, I say go Fuchs yourself.)" |

| "I have now owned this Fuchs ODS-50 SLX 1x12 combo for just over two years and I'm even more pleased with it now than I was when I brought it home. I have to say that I couldn't be more pleased with the amp. I haven't found an application for which it is anything less than ideally suited. It always inspires me and it always fits just right sonically. This amp is simply amazing for me! It still rates a solid 10 in my book!" |

| "Play one of these, then go down to your local Guitar Center and plug in to one the run-of-the-mill production amps and you will sell everything to get one of these, they are that good. I've been amp shopping for 2 years and have bought and sold almost 20 amps up 'till this one. I won't be selling this one. It will sit next to my old Marshalls that I've had for over 20 years as a permanent member of the family. If it were stolen or lost I would buy another as soon as possible. There are similar amps out there but their pricing is unrealistic and they don't have all the little nuances and features the ODS has." |

| "Supernice Cleans, like Fender with a shimmer to it. Warmer, nicer smoother, but play with the switches and you get it all quacky or jazzy. Overdrive is one of the best I ever played and believe I had my fair share. This one turns you inside out... goose bumps for more than a day. It doesn't get in that Metallica, Heavy Metal genre... but hey, that's not what it is built for. The Reverb is 10/10 ! Absolutely and for 100% sure the best I ever had in an amp. Superb! Buy one. It's one-of-a-kind, an amp you won't let go!" |

| "I do not own this pedal although I would certainly like to. I tried it in a store today and was frankly blown away and had to write a review. It simply makes your guitar more muscular and bold sounding without sacrificing any clarity - completely transparent. Not noisy at all. Great with Strats and Pauls. If you have a nice tube amp this pedal will get the most out of it. It's expensive, but for what it is, it's perfect - a powerful, quiet, and completely transparent and clear sounding boost. I've been playing for about 10 years, own some other nice pedals... Barber, Fulltone, Teese RMC and have played many more. Rock, blues, funk, fusion type stuff mostly, a bit of jazz. I presume this would be pretty good boosting a high gain amp too. Fuchs definitely got it right with this one!" |

| "If I were to describe my overall tone as whole milk, this thing takes it to heavy cream. It is a thick and smoky overdrive. I've tried many of the 'dumble in a box' pedals, and to my ears, this one takes the prize. (Come on two rock, have a go?) Only had it for a few weeks. So far, no probs. Only thing is, it's the brightest blue led i've ever seen. I think it burned my retina :) Compared to the dumbell, gsr, and others, this nails the dumble tone. (Obviously, made by Fuchs.) (Plushdrive)" |

| "This is easily the best TS-808 clone I have ever played, or ever hope to play. I took it into my local music store and we all A/B'd the Plush Cream with the TS-808, the TS-9, and the Maxon version of the 808. None of them even came close to the Fuchs. The way a pedal looks or its price mean nothing to me -- the only thing that matters to me is TONE. This pedal has it in spades! (Cream Pedal)" |

| "I really appreciate all your responses and help getting me started on the FUCHS amps! I finally found some time to play the amp, although I used my Valve Jr. 112 closed back cab. This amp is absolutely everything and more! I am simply stunned, I have had sooooo many amps and always stayed away from Fuchs because I just got it in my head that they were some variation of a Boogie or something, boy o' boy, do I ever need my head examined, I can't believe I have been so presumptious to the point of actually hanicapping myself from something that is so obviously heads and tails above what is out there, truely AMAZING! I think I am going to quit building tube amps, this amp just humbled me, big time!" |

| "I was in on Sat 2/21 tried and purchased the Extreme Cream Plush Drive. Great product. I was telling Andy that I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp and wondered if my guitar would sound as good playing that. Well it transformed my sound. Running through the amp's clean channel the sound is unbelievable for a Fender. Great experience! Andy couldn't have been more helpful and a great product. I will recommend it to all my guitarist friends." |

| "I plugged my Deluxe in at band practice last night for the first time and I am very happy with the work you did. With the Les Paul, the overdrive was just beautiful. I kept shocking myself when I looked down at my pedalboard to find that I wasn't using any pedals. You have definitely made some of my pedals unnecessary." |

| "I still haven't found any amp out there that comes near the sound quality, bass response or responds as well to pedals as the Clean
Machine." |
