'The Big Trees' is an all valve, Class A amp which doubles as an incredibly versatile preamp, perfectly at home live and in the studio.

The 2.5W amp, built around ECC82 and ECC83 pre-amp and single EL84 output valves, generates harmonic-rich tone, sculpted by its Baxandall-based EQ, and ‘EL84 headroom control’. The Line output (incorporating a valve line driver stage) is either post power- amp stage, or discreet all-valve clean stage for empyreal DI tone.

We hand build 'The Big Trees' at our workshop in West London with all the care and attention Audio Kitchen have become renowned for. Envisaged as a recording amp which could be taken on tour, TBTs has proven itself a creative inspiration in the studio. Its ever-expanding list of tasks includes re-amping/ guitar front end into a DAW/ clean gain/ DI/ line driver/ hardware insert on all manner of sources from synths to drums, Wurlitzer to vocals, and even as a twin attack over entire mixes.

The Big Trees is something we are thoroughly proud to put the Audio Kitchen name to, and we are delighted to see that it has already won the hearts of acclaimed producers, engineers and guitarists around the planet.

Gil Norton put it this way – ‘How can I afford NOT to have one?’

"To producer and player alike, 'The Big Trees' has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. It can make things sound warm and lovely, or it can destroy them. It can thicken your vocal, or smash your drums. It can be an amp in the live room, while also feeding line output to the desk. It's not surprising that these have already found their way into the studios and live rigs of Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, the Killers and the Vaccines. Alan Moulder used one for re-amping sources on the Led Zeppelin O2 DVD." - Jack Ruston, www.soundonsound.com 

"Already functioning differently from a traditional pedal or amplifier, the sounds of 'The Big Trees' are all its own. Clean boost, teetering overdrive, and broken up, fuzzy goodness are all specialties of 'The Big Trees' and cannot be found in any other device. The custom craftsmanship and innovative thinking of 'The Big Trees' puts it in a league of its own and must be seen to be believed." - Russomusic.com
