This amp was designed in collaboration between Carter Vintage Guitars, JD Simo, and Wayne Jones of Headstrong Amps.JD Simo has been an intrinsic part of Carter Vintage from the very beginning, helping demo the wonderful guitars and amps we’ve had in the shop over the years. We’ve long been his “home away from home,” as he calls it—and we just call him
family.
So when Wayne and JD approached us about a limited-edition release, the answer was a resounding yes! This amp is a standard Lil King model, set up to JD’s specs with a 12" Alessandro SC64 Eminence speaker. The AA764 Princeton circuit is beautifully represented here, with lush reverb and a full, punchy bass response. CVG appointments include white bronco tolex, small-weave cane grill cloth, a brown faceplate, and cream knobs.
We truly believe this is as close to a vintage sound as modern production amps are capable of. This production run is limited to 10, each accompanied by a signed letter from Wayne—so grab one while they last!
