About Craig Amps
South African Custom or Production Valve Guitar Amplifiers and Effects Pedals
Started 2001, in Pietermaritzburg, in a reaction to being told that it would not be possible.
Up until 2012, CraigAmps were only building custom amplifiers, and have now brought out a production range too.
CraigAmps are Guitar Valve Amplifiers all designed from scratch, and are hand-wired. Full Boutique range made with Highend components. The effects pedals are all handpainted and baked, and PCB’s are engraved not etched.
Why Work With Me
THE BEST COMPONENTS
We spend a lot of time sourcing suppliers around the globe searching for the best components available, only to make sure that our product’s quality is absolute.
ALWAYS INNOVATING
We bring a different feature in every product. Even though it is impossible to reinvent the wheel, each of our pedals has at least one special factor that distinguishes it from anything else!
MADE TO LAST
We miss the good old times when things were made to last. That’s why we really value our pedals’ quality and measure no efforts in making them as resistant as possible.
WE SHIP WORLDWIDE
You can purchase directly from us, and we ship anywhere that receives mail! Just select your country at the checkout page and place your order easily.
SILENT TRUE BYPASS
From May 2016 on we implemented a Silent True Bypass system in our pedals that allows you to switch them without any kind of ‘clicks’ or ‘pops’. You don’t have to worry about those annoying switching noises anymore!
AN EXTRA MOJO
We are always looking for weird and awesome components to give that extra mojo to our pedals. Some of them use components from several decades ago and from nations long extinct.
