Stoner Rock is a term for a genre that started in the sixties with bands such as Sabbath and Blue Cheer and continues in a somewhat more “metal” voice with contemporary bands like Monster Magnet, Clutch and Kyuss. Hallmarks of this genre include psychedelic imagery and tones, soulful, bluesy vocals and gorgeous guitar fuzz.

The amps that contributed to most of these tones were usually not your standard Marshall or Fenders. Instead, Stoner Rock axemen tend to plug into amps by Laney, Matamp, Orange and Sunn. These amps use KT88 tube which is key to their trademark “doomy” vibe. KT88s were used mostly for hi-fi applications due to their high power and low distortion. But when you DO get them to break up, BTFU.

Nial McGaughey, founder of Solid Cables, has been making some amazing one-off amps using recycled, vintage parts and players have been going crazy for them. He sells every amp within 24hrs.
He has just started a kickstarter campaign to build a small production of kt88 beasts called “Caribou”.
If this is where you want to take your tone hit up his kickstarter page and back the project and get elevated....
