Introduction, History, Tech & Reviews
Introduction Lehnert makes handbuilt tubeamps for guitar. We offer excellent sounding products with a high service level to affordable prices. It
is our opinion that a guitar amp is an integral part of the instrument.
We build high class amps to suit your taste, playing style and your
instrument. The
Lehnert Rambler amps: 12,5, 30 or 50 Watts, The
Lehnert Sunbeam is a two-channel amp with channel switching and independent
tone controls, 30
Watts? Is that really strong & loud enough? Yes, due to the high
efficency of the amp. When the Rambler is not loud enough for your needs,
you have to put a microphone in front of every other instrument in the
ensemble as well. But if you really need some more raw power and headroom, we also offer 50 Watts versions of our models, all tube Class A/B with 2x EL34's, in the poweramp. Other power tubes are offered on request.

History It
all began in 1977 when Lehnert was working extra as a cable- &
troublemaker with the dynamic Eric Antoni (founder of Musikbörsen
& nowadays owner of JAM supermarket). The service manager Tommy Wistrand declared: "We can build such one", and parts were ordered for the project. It
sounded no good. It
was not until 2003 the project carried on. This time with a new approach:
to take the the goodness from the old amps, and taking things further.

Tech Rambler
30 W is cathode biased. Rambler/Sunbeam
50 Watt: fixed bias all tube The amps
are hand wired with high quality components and great care.

What
is Power Scaling? It
is not just like a speaker load box. "Speaker load boxes", "speaker
emulators," and "speaker attenuators" are all forms of attenuation
that are interposed between the output of a power amp and the speaker.
They work for some people but are notorious for sounding "buzzy" at
high attenuations. The
key to Power Scaling is that it is applied to the power output tube
stage itself,
and so comes before the output transformer.
