Click here Single-channel tube amplifier delivering a full range of tones—from clean headroom to rich overdrive—with built-in attenuation and reverb. One channel. Unlimited range. Aurora 35 is a single-channel amplifier designed to move seamlessly across the full spectrum of electric guitar tone—from American clarity to British chime and into driven, harmonically rich response. It’s not about switching channels. It’s about having the entire range available under your hands. Core Platform Aurora 35 is a fully tube-driven, multi-stage platform built for range and control: Open, articulate clean tones with extended headroom Smooth transition into overdrive with strong note definition Continuous tonal shaping—from American clean to British-inspired response The result is a single-channel amplifier that adapts to the player, not the other way around. Volume Management System Aurora 35 integrates two proprietary systems for total control: Venue Mode — Macro-level attenuation optimized for performance environments HybridMASTER — Micro-level control for precise volume adjustment Together, they allow you to dial in the exact feel and response of the amp at any volume—without compromise. Signal Path Integration Aurora 35 includes a tube-driven spring reverb and a tube-buffered effects loop, allowing time-based effects to integrate naturally while preserving the integrity of the core tone. Build & Lead Time Each Aurora 35 amplifier is built in small production runs using premium components and proven circuit design. Current lead time is approximately 10–12 weeks from order. They often deliver sooner as production allows, but this window ensures your amplifier is built, tested, and fully dialed before it ships. Ordering & Support Every 3rd Power amplifier is supported directly by their team. If you have questions about configuration, compatibility, or how a model fits your rig, they’re here to help you choose with confidence. Inside the Aurora 35 ARCHITECTURE: A 35-watt platform built around American authority and expanded range. AURORA 35 is a fixed-bias, Class AB amplifier built around a pair of 6L6 power tubes in its standard 35-watt configuration. The platform can also run on 6V6s at 20 watts, giving the player another way to shape output, feel, and response. At its core, AURORA begins with the strength, openness, and dimensional feel of classic American amplification — then gives the player more room to open that voice up into added chime, contour, and harmonic movement. CONTROLS & VOICE-SHAPING: One channel. Multiple ways to shape response. Core Controls: Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, and Reverb form the central control layout, giving AURORA 35 a straightforward foundation with enough range to stay precise, musical, and adaptable. Shaping Tools: Bright Switch, Mid Frequency Boost / Scoop, HF Damp, VENUE MODE, and HybridMASTER give the player deeper control over contour, feel, and output without turning the amp into a feature exercise. REVERB, TREMOLO & VOLUME MANAGEMENT: Shared ambience. Controlled output. AURORA 35 includes a tube-driven spring reverb and a tube-buffered FX loop, giving the platform the depth and integration players expect from a fully realized working amplifier. Built-in VENUE MODE attenuation and HybridMASTER volume management work together to preserve feel, movement, and harmonic behavior as output is scaled to the room. The goal is not simply less volume. It is to keep the amp intact as the environment changes. CABINET & CONSTRUCTION: Built as an instrument, not just an enclosure. AURORA 35 is available as a compact head or a 1×12 combo, with each format designed to maintain the same response, feel, and tonal integrity. Cabinet construction and component selection are chosen for stability, resonance, and long-term reliability. Cabinet & Materials: AURORA enclosures are built from high-grade, void-free Italian poplar plywood, selected for its lightweight strength, consistency, and musical resonance. The cabinet remains easy to move while contributing to a more responsive and connected playing experience. Speaker & Format: The 1×12 combo is fitted with a WGS ET-65 speaker, chosen for its balance of warmth, clarity, and controlled low-end response. Head and combo formats share the same amplifier platform and tonal character. Build & Assembly: Each AURORA is hand-built in Minneapolis, Minnesota, using custom-wound transformers and a construction approach designed for serviceability and long-term performance. INCLUDED / AVAILABILITY: Standard configuration, finish, and ordering notes. Standard Configuration: AURORA 35 ships with 2 × JJ 6L6 power tubes, a large-pan spring reverb, and the full AURORA control architecture including VENUE MODE attenuation, HybridMASTER volume management, tube-driven spring reverb, and a tube-buffered FX loop. The combo version is fitted with a WGS ET-65 12-inch speaker. Standard Finish: Standard finish includes Hiwatt Black tolex with white piping, silver control faceplates, and silver-and-black skirt knobs. Custom Shop options are available separately.
