Extremely Rare! Only 3 in the World were ever built. K&M Analog Designs amplifier with Carlos Santana's specifications &100 watts of power! This is one of them. There was a total of 11 original amplifiers built and of those 11 only 3 were with the Santana specs 100 watts and the remaining 8 Amplifiers were 50 watt amps. This amplifier has been called "The Supernatural Tone Amp." Because once Carlos Santana received his numbered #6 amp he recorded the Supernatural Album. Then went on to tour the world at concert venues with his amp. K&M designs built another amp numbered #7 with the same specifications as Santana's 100 watt amp. This one was loaned to Carlos Santana as a back-up amp if & when issues would arise.
Legendary, Mega Superstar, Rock&Roll Hall Of Fame Inductee and 10 time Grammy Award Winner Carlos Santana, Robben Ford, Steve Kimock and John Mayer, just to name a few, all own a K&M/Two-Rock Amplifiers. I am the original owner of this amp and when I purchased my amp from William (Bill) Krinard and Joe Mloganoski at what was Named in April of 2000, K&M after their last names, they already had the third amp built with the Carlos Santana specifications. My initial visitation in their shop, was to purchase a amplifier with these specs. I really believe this was a matter of being in the right place in exactly the right time (destiny). I was so honored and blessed to have them sell me this amplifier that I also requested that they autograph the back of the amp for me. Perhaps of the 11 Original amps that were built, this might be the only one with both of their signatures on the amp itself and for a fact, the only one with their signatures of the 3 amps built with the Santana specifications!
Another key item note worthy about my amp is that there are no serial numbers on the amp, the original built amplifiers 1 thru10 all have serial numbers tapped onto them. Makes me want to think, Humm... is this the original of the originals? I have seen amps # 6 owned by Carlos and #7 with serial numbers tapped on the amps, it just makes me wonder why no serial numbers were placed on my amp. You can come up with your own conclusions, but make no mistake about this, it is 100% authentic and original and signed by the builders, I guarantee it!
Also comes with its own anvil case custom made for the amp. The exterior cabinet of the amp is in excellent plus condition, it does have a scratch on the bottom of the black Telex material so I would say it shows signs of wear and normal use, the chassis itself is in mint condition no issues and guarantee full functionality just like new! In the photos on the face of the amp it shows white chalk dots which I found to be the "Sweet spot" for myself.
This amp has been handled with loving hands and appreciated for what it is, a Rock&Roll Historical piece of equipment! Yes, it's an extremely rare amplifier but more significantly, amps number #6 & 7 were used to create Rock&Roll History! The photos will show that my amp has been well cared for and properly stored for preservation and for appreciation of value. My amp will be 20 years old in April and still looks new. The anvil case is in excellent condition and ready for touring. The amp was hand built by Bill (known as the Amp Guru) & Joe with only the best materials money could buy. This is a trophy in any Collectors showcase. If you are an investor, this amplifier will only go up in value, if you are a musician, Santana music guitarist OMG! Now is your rarest opportunity to get that "ORIGINAL SUPERNATURAL SIGNATURE SOUND"! If you want to know just how beautiful this amp sounds? Please play Carlos Supernatural CD and then you will BEGIN to appreciate this amplifier. When played at lower levels it will soothe your soul with some incredibly warm tones. When it's cranked up, you will not only hear it but also feel its emotional screams & crys that will bring down any house or venue. I would love to see this amp be purchased by a Recording Studio where up and coming new Artist can be heard in an extremely beautiful manner. I am available to answer any questions you may have.
