Speakeasy Vintage Music

Armadillo’s Ventura TX-5 is now available from Speakeasy! With it’s arrival Steve has kicked his old axe to the curb and rebooted his live rig around the TX-5. With it’s easy MIDI implementation and new true expression there’s just no comparison.

Our GigRig2 featuring our new RB12 speakers and exclusive Armadillo Class Stereo Rack Mount Preamp are available via Armadillo’s Dealer Network.

And of course we still offer a full line of Roadbox Rotary cabinets, and remanufactured vintage Rhodes™ & Wurlitzer pianos!

Marco Balla, an AMA owner, sends us this YouTube link to his Deep Purple tribute video. A lot of vintage keys (Or their essence, their sound) went into this. Marco cranks his AMA to get that Jon Lord sound from his Digital Clonewheel and Solid State rotary cabinet. He leads off with his own version of a personal favorite, Highway Star. Have a look.

Steve sat down this week and did some on camera playing of a crusty old A100 from our “Boneyard” piped through the Roadbox III (SE122) and Submon subwoofer. This “roadbox system” really kicks ass as the organ’s speaker system – So if you have a good clone, and wonder what our speaker sounds like, check out the video!

Special thanks again to Joe Tracey for coming by to play with the new cabinet.

We’ve taken the now popular Roadbox MKIII and designed a new edition especially for guitar players. Now you can get that famous rotary speaker sound in a NEW piece of gear using YOUR amplifier, and as an added bonus it comes with an additional foot switch to switch between our two way rotary speaker system and a straight connection to the 12″ speaker. If your fav amp is an amp head, this is the only speaker you’ll need.

Introducing, a roadbox with a little bit more! We’ve teamed our Roadbox III with our AMA (Absolute Modeling Amplfiier) and added a 250watt solid state amplifier to bring you the same great tone in a higher power range. Best of all, with this configuration, you can get quite clean tone or grunge! Now you get your full tilt rock organ sound without waking the neighbors!

To fulfill the request of one of our customers, we tackled the challenge of doing it better. Pictured here is our newest item, the 1122 SE connector kit. Designed to connect modern clonewheel keyboards and organs to vintage 122 tone cabinets.

Built in one of our now classic enclosures, with no sharp points and designed to sit on the floor. We’ve taken a fully discrete approach – NO opamps, NO chips, and NO low voltage power supply. This all old school analog unit taps the 122’s B+ power to support it’s built in amplifier and *Transformer Coupled* output stage.

The transformer, and it’s driver provide a punchy yet smooth tone while you have EASY ACCESS to the volume and tone controls. Other units need a screw driver for the volume and have no tone control at all!

This unit also supports both speed switching, and power on/off to your 122, all controlled from the 11 pin input.
