KCP Marvin
The KCP Hank B Marvin "Signature" Amplifier
Please note the limited production run KCP is no longer available
due to the retirement of the skilled engineers who designed and built these superb amplifiers
This amplifier and speaker cabinet is the result of extensive research and in-depth consultation with Hank himself. Charlie Hall and Peter Alden, the guys behind the Echoes From The Past system (used by Hank), were personally asked by Hank to build him an amplifier. The system was used throughout the 2002 Guitar Player Tour in the UK and on his last album. This is a really special amplifier hand-built to the highest quality.

Roger Newell writes for 'Guitarist' magazine:
"This is one very classy rig that positively sings with pure tone and does not become brittle, even on high notes and with volume."
"This is the real thing, it has all the qualities of those truly classic amps but with a fuller and more consistent tonal range no matter how hard you push the volume."
"The tonal slant between the two channels is particularly marked and provides the appropriate attributes that were associated with the two early Vox models."
"This should not be dismissed as just being an old style combination, that would be doing it a gross injustice - there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye."
