Amplifier ID, please...
Several year ago (maybe 2015?) I was in a music store in Wilmington, North Carolina. I don't recall the name of the store.
While I was there, I played through the amp pictured here. It was the best sounding amplifier I've ever heard: I'm getting back into playing some electric, and I want to purchase this amp (or one exactly like it). I thought the brand was "7 Amps", but I can't find anything online. There's an excellent chance that it was produced locally. Any help in identifying this amplifier, and perhaps a source, would be greatly appreciated. Last edited by Kerbie; 10-16-2021 at 11:14 AM. |

I spent the past 5 minutes doing a Google Image search and then regular search and found nothing. In addition to the badge, the amp's grill also shows a 7 so I searched for both 7 and 77.
Looks like chicken head knobs. Probably a great boutique amp. Was it based on a classic Fender amp tone? |

Looks like it's a 7 Sins amp, originally by a guy who was making Quidley amps.

Apparently the guys' name is Ed Quidley and is from Wilmington, North Carolina. Unclear if he is still making them or not ???

I was not familiar with Quidley amps. I Googled 'boutique amplifiers 7' and a video showed up for the 7 Sins amplifier.
