ps,,, everything is manufactured in the USA ! we designed them and we make them ! I have a skilled team of craftsmen by my side ready to produce !

[Casey4s]

Your chassis look very interesting What can you post about your amps?

EDIT:

And if you will be offering kits I am sure some of the forumites will be interested in information.

[BillyBlades]

Theres plenty on youtube. I was building in the garage for awhile then trying to.keep up with demand and for a higher quality i decided to take it to the next step.

Here a clip done with my number one amp. It was awhile ago and could be alot better but have a listen.
Theres a recording of my 20 watter and Michael Shenkers amp too. All with no pedals.


When i start production in october i will have better recordings.

I started building from scratch to get a "feel " for the real labor that goes into an amp. Every pc.
I noticed alot of extremes in.pricing the current market has.

I was swindled out of an amp and everywhere else i turned people wanted to take me for a ride and got fed up.

I made my own!

After a decent success and through alot of turbulence from my decision venture into ampbuilding i fell in love with it.

At first i wanted to just do mine but people wanted it also.
I was so distressed over loosing an amp and dealing with the industry'$ greed i vowed to find a way to produce an amp at a reasonable price.
Instead of paying 3grand you can.have the same quality at 1/2 the price.

All handwired... ptp turret,,, usa trannys and built to blast. Theres not a ton of hands in my pie unlike other amp co's that use kits as their foundation or have alot of guys hanging off every sale waiting for their cut.

We are a new manufacturer with new ideas. Take the best of the past and make it better ... and build it like they used to and do it with love instead of greediness.

What started as a loss turned into a win.
I made and sold amps for over a yr now and i wanted to take the quality of the finished product to.new levels.

[BillyBlades]

I wanted to add...

I really fell in love with the amps. Then when a couple well known guys nudged me to just do it.

After building and modding myself into exhaustion I wanted everyone to feel these amps. You.just dont hear them... they wrap you up in tone like a warm punchy blanket covering you.
The Firebolt is based on Jose circuitry and the Venom is based on the Aldrich -Sykes vibe.
Both amps will be totally switchable from plexi to Blistering! Very versatile and will be an asset to the working pro on stage or studio.

After discovering a few tricks i basicly dont play any of my other amps. They been collecting dust.
Some best of the best paled in comparison.

I had looked at letting more people in on this feeling. I considered china. After consulting sonw good friends i decided to hire a crew, train them and have them help me mass produce these Beasts.

I decided to search and i found some really Driven, Talented, Awesome people to help with some of the construction. Hence, the lasercut chassis n other stuff coming soon.

I have a deep respect for my crew as they "know their biz " and i admire Skill, hard work and Devotion.

I am really happy with my decision and proud that we didnt just take the easy route.

Kits have markups and partners among partners make amps crazy prices. Going to china wouldve just cheapened the great feelings and i am proud to say all Blades Amps and major parts as well as assembly will be all in the USA.

I have a website under construction. Not finished and has minor details. Billyblades.net
Not finished for waiting on the production models photoshoot.

Its been a fun ride thus far and only getting better.

How do we know you're not trying to swindle the good people hear at Guitar Amp Board???

[BillyBlades]

I have 100% reliability and feedback . I have been totally dependable since day one!
I also got into.amp building after being swindled.
Its well documented on the internet after i called out some industry favorites who were the
"Swindlers ".
Good people dont swindle others !
I deliver the goods! and its well documented on the Marshall Forum and ebay.
Places where bias doesnt exist and the people i called out are powerless!

Do your research. Nice try tho.

Wasn't trying... tho. Just wanted to see where your coming from.
I have to say, good answer!

[BillyBlades]

Sounds good man. Nice to meet you then lol.
I had alot of bullshit to deal with over the last few yrs.
I went up against some heavy hitters because i got a taste of the filthy behind the scenes of the amp world.
They didnt like it and neither did their brainwashed followers but times are changing and i started modding to fight back.

I started building after i fell in love with what i was creating for myself which made all my other amps collect dust.

''I got passionate about the tone and the happiness i witnessed from my clients and some industry heavy hitters (the honest ones) told me to start my own line.

I went from modding to building.

I started off in my garage scratch building everything i could to get a "feel " for the real labor involved.
I was determined to put out the same amp as the people who screwed me but do.it at half price.
Using the same or better parts.

I took the robin hood approach!

I am about to.produce a comparable product... made with absolute love for Holy Grail Tones and made it even.more flexable and versatile.


Whatever tone you need from raw plexi to super tasty high gain...all a switch away... all handbuilt using all usa made parts including the chassis, cabinets, turretboards, transformers and assembly... all in the USA.

I didnt want to.use the same mojo kits as my competition.uses. they add to the costs as well as the multiple partners cashin in on every sale.
Thats where i did my homework and designed everything brand new! I manufacture my own parts.

I dont really wish to go backwards because itvwas a dark time and place.

Only thing i can say and "prove " is that i am Honest and i make friends.
I deliver and i.know my shit.
I am not a thief or a hack despite rumours from dumbasses.

I am a family man who got ripped off... spoke up... got ridiculed and i faught back every step of the way.

Its a shame it went down so bad but in the end i am thankful. I forgive them.

They dont and never will like me.
I am selling a similar product at half their price..

Eye for an eye...

E=mc²

I am the best me i have ever been.

I make dame good lemonade too



They made a Monster... but im.just a tonemonster and i love people and my friends.

Id rather help u than hurt you.

[BillyBlades]

Sorry.. its alot but i had to just get it over n out there.

Nice to meet you guys btw.

Talk to someone who knows me ... not from bullshit hearsay.

Id rather be a friend ... i faught enough with real idiots and haters. Its full auto now lol.

I shut them all down with logic, knowledge and proof.

So Rock.on! Bullshit be damned lol

Hi Billy, How you doing
tell me please How much do you charge to do the cameron style Jose mod to a Marshall JMP 2203/2204

[clipless bumper]

let's see some pics of some of your wiring

[sleewell]

The dudes at RT really love you

wow - I kinda expected as much.

[clipless bumper]

I realize this is amp serial #1 - if you have newer pics - post 'em up!

[Devin]

Wow $49.99 BIN for that chassis seems like a great value!

I would seriously like to know what in the hell all that silicone goo is for. I have built a number of amps since 1997 and I don't recall ever using goo for any reason, but of course I am not a state of the art professional like Mr Blades.

I noticed that as long winded as Mr Blades usually seems to be that he hasn't posted since the gut shots were posted on that forum. I believe the forumites there are anxiously waiting for some sort of explaination.

EDIT:
Oh, and whats with the black marking pen all over everything? It looks like crap.

[sleewell]

Looks like shit

[skybluegary]

Wow, that Marshall thread about kills your rep! Add RT threads to that and you're just about done! How can anyone take you seriously?

At the very least you should grow a pair and resolve the issues with the guy who bought that pos from you. Strange how someone who comes across as full of himself, went so quiet when challenged.

In fact, you should probably just quietly disappear from this forum! Really! Enough bullshit already!

No-one in their right mind would buy anything from you!

[Zozobra]

This guy was run off the sloclone forum for being a total clown iirc.

[ajaxlepinski]

Ha! I'm thinking, "The Ed Wood of amp building".
At least he made an attempt to twist the heater wires.

[Casey4s]

BB finally showed up at the marshall forum at 2am and just dug a deeper hole for himself I don't believe that anyone who has ever heard of him will ever do business with him. BB has made an ass of himself in just about every forum on the internet over the past several years, he should just go away.
