Framus, a company with over 60 years of history, now produce an enviable range of high quality, hand wired valve amps, from the all out rock assault of the Cobra stack to the vintage tones of the Ruby Riot Class A combo. All the Framus amps come with the kind of features you expect from a boutique valve amp - parallel effects loops, switchable speaker impedance settings, footswitchable channels (MIDI switching on the Cobra and Dragon) and Celestion speakers. For that real boutique look the CS head and 2 x 12" cab can be specified in Pommele Bubinga wood finish.

RUBY RIOT I COMBO £2000

This is a highly versatile two channel Class A combo with a killer sound. The clean channel is classic 'British' Class A with enough transparency to let the characteristic sound of the guitar through. The lead channel is another story altogether offering everything from vintage overdriven to super saturated sounds - take your time tweaking the tone controls on this and you won't be disappointed - there are even convincing metal tones to be had here.

30 Watts from 4 EL84's through one Vintage 30 and one Vintage 25 Greenback Celestions. Accutronics reverb and a  parallel effects loop.

Available in Red or Black

RUBY RIOT I I COMBO  £2000

Similar to the Ruby Riot I but with a more vintage sounding lead channel with less  gain. This is a serious boutique quality amp with a vintage feel and its own unique sounds delivered through the deliberately mismatched Celestion speakers. This amp also has a very classy footswitchable tremolo effect .

Available in Red or Black

DRAGON HEAD     £2000

Featuring three channels the Dragon is capable of a huge array of sounds: the clean channel delivers anything from shimmering crystal clear sounds to an aggressive blues bark; the crunch channel can take you from classic overdrive through to a serious heavy rock crunch and the lead channel is high gain heaven, sustaining for ever and great for those pinched harmonics. Coupled with a 4x12 or two this has all the classic stack sounds on tap at two switchable master volume levels. Framus haven't stinted on the features and this amp can be switched by MIDI as well as with the footswitch. This amp features switchable speaker impedance, a line out, parallel effects loop and gain and presence controls on each channel.

COBRA HEAD  £2100

Take the Dragon Head and then take it one step further and you have the Cobra. The intention was to take the Dragon and give it a tighter response and increase the brightness. The clean channel gains a bright switch and the crunch and lead channels gain a notch switch which alters the voicing of the channel to give greater tonal flexibility. These voicing options clearly take this into serious rock territory and there is no doubting this amp meets all the needs of the serious rock or metal player. Couple all this with the great look of this head, with its metal grille and internal red light and you have a hugely desirable piece of kit. This is an impressive sight with the two matching stereo 4x12 cabs.

Dragon 4x12 (angled and straight)   £750

Cobra 4x12 (angled and straight)     £999 (metal grille to match head)
