What is Bluetone?
This is a good question, and one I’ve been asking frequently since I became the new owner of the company a few months ago. I would love to know: what is Bluetone to you?
The founder and previous owner, Harry, has had a long journey in Finnish amp building, bringing it to the next level over the past 20 years. Besides that, Bluetone is based on a strong team effort. Our tech, Lauri, is the ultimate pro when it comes to designing, building, and repairing amps. Bluetone wouldn’t be the same without Lauri’s effort. Our carpenter, Matti, is very experienced in what he’s doing, and there’s no cabinet model he couldn’t reproduce. Our upholsterer, Markku, has been working with tweed and tolex for many, many years, and he knows the tricks of the trade to make it properly.
We build everything here by hand, and we pay absolute attention to detail. I knew before I started at Bluetone that building an amp is not easy, but I couldn’t have imagined what it requires to build a high-quality amp. I’m extremely proud to say that we are there, and we are developing our products and working methods every single day. The journey continues, one handcrafted amp at a time!
