Handmade in Germany!
There is actually no rational reason why we still need handmade tube amps these days.
Just as little as relic instruments, restored vintage cars, refurbished old furniture or handcrafted food. Everything is available “new” at any time. In quantity and in good industrial quality.
Why do we still long for "old values" and products made by hand?
Because we want someone to put their time, effort and love into the things that make us smile every day. Products that are not just "off the shelf", but are specially designed and made for us. At the highest level of quality.
A mass-produced product can undoubtedly be a good product. However, a handcrafted product carries the soul of the builder, who made it especially for his customer and matched it with all his experience. We can hear and feel that... and that's what makes these products so extraordinary and desirable.
And THAT'S EXACTLY what we do at Tube WorkShop!

Custom Built
Why buy an off the shelf amp when you can have the "amp of your dreams" built just for you to to your specifications?
Your TWS Custom Built Amp sounds like you, wears your style and bears your name. And there is only one! Because it's as unique as you...
1x12 combo version of the TWS 2864-S.
A generously dimensioned housing made of solid 12mm birch multiplex gives the 2864-S combo a mature sound volume as well as an exceptionally lively and resonant sound.
14W - Class A/B, Cathode Biased
Tubes: 1xGZ34, 2x6V6, 1xEF86, 1x12AX7
50W from 2x EL34. Classic "British" sound. There is also an overdrive circuit that can be activated and gives the all-important “kick”.
These are the ingredients for a classic heavy rock sound, as you know it from Uwe Lulis in Accept or his former band Grave Digger.
50W - Class A/B
Tubes: 1x GZ34, 2x EL34, 3x 12AX7
The amp that started it all!
A few years ago we restored a Phillips Hi-Fi amp called the 2864 from the 1940s and modified it for electric guitar. This amp sounded absolutely amazing and was the blueprint for the TWS 2864.
14W - Class A/B, Cathode Biased
Tubes: 1xGZ34, 2x6V6, 1xEF86, 1xEEP-1
Single ended Class A / 1x6L6 tube / 6W.
The name of this amp was obvious...
Inspired by a legendary 1950's French amp designed by Paul Bouyer... further developed and refined into the "King of Bedroom Amps"
6W - Single Ended Class A
Tubes: 1x GZ34, 1x 6L6, 1x 6SL7
The further development of the TWS 2864 into a standard design that implements the outstanding sonic properties with todays tubes.
A matt anodized aluminum front panel and the integrated RGB LED lighting give the amp a very elegant look.
Available in Silver or Stealth versions
14W - Class A/B, Cathode Biased
Tubes: 1x GZ34, 2x6V6, 1x EF86, 1x12AX7
Why isn't there an all-tube bass amp which suits the demands of studios and smaller venues of our days?
We cannot answer that question, but we can say: Here it is. The Tube WorkShop BassBoy!
50W/30W - Class A/B
Tubes: 1x GZ34, 2x 6L6, 2x 6SL7
Customers Voice
"
"No matter which effects pedal I connect... without exception, they all shine with a clear, defined brilliance. Even the Strymon Sunset as a distortion does not overdrive uncontrollably if you crank it up. Controllable at every stage, always to the point without outliers. The Neunaber Reverb MkII is brilliant and controllable in every position, the Strymon Big Sky also unfolds with clarity and definition.
Any changes to the settings is accurately reflected. And that makes it easy to find the sweet spot. No matter if Tele, ES, Les Paul, Resonator or even to the Baritone... it has never sounded so good. Chapeau! A very big hit! Respect!"
Jörg Britsch, proud owner of the TWS Custom Built "Jay's Tube"
