Description:

The Wurlitzer 200 replacement amplifier is designed to faithfully reproduce the sound and characteristics of the original Model 200 amplifier -- only without all the noise.  Although one can rebuild an existing amplifier with new, high performance components, the inherent architecture of the stock amp will still create an undesirable amount of noise.  Completely redesigned from the ground up, the new amp employs low noise circuit and layout techniques.  When coupled with reed bar shields (included) to minimize 60Hz hum, the performance is unmatched -- it even outperforms fully restored 200A amplifiers.   Terminal blocks allow easy installation without the need to solder.

As for the sound, we were fortunate to work with Ken Rich at Ken Rich Sound Services in LA to further optimize the EQ curve.  Ken has been working on keyboards since the 70s and is one of the music industry's best kept secrets.  He has done full restorations and provides service for many of the major touring artists including Steely Dan, Lenny Kravitz, and George Duke.  We are happy to have the help of his golden ears, experience, and no compromises, no excuses approach to vintage keyboards.   He wholeheartedly endorses the new amp and is already using it in several professional touring rigs.

Beta units have been in the field with touring musicians and recording studios for almost 2 years without any issues.
