Sabot 6550
$1,699.00 – $1,749.00
The Sabot is a Single channel, Brutal high gain amplifier that provides unmatched punch, articulation, and definition. This 60W all tube amplifier is point-to-point hand wired on our custom hybrid turret boards, which allows for an incredibly low noise floor at even the most insane gain levels.
The Sabot was designed around our proprietary tone-stack that is specifically designed for extended range and drop tuned guitars. The extreme versatility and articulation comes from a multitude of switching options, twin gain controls for high and low frequencies, and a power control. The Sabot features a sleek Blackout aesthetic that screams METAL! From the anodized billet aluminum knobs, faceplate, and logo, the Sabot is built like a tank.

I haven’t had this amp long, but it already blows other high gain amps I’ve owned out of the water. It doesn’t get any simpler than one channel, but the array of sounds you can get out of this amp are mind blowing. You can tell right away a lot of thought and heart went into development to the final product. Customer service is also some of the best I’ve ever come across. James is extremely responsive and goes the extra mile to answer any questions you could possibly have. The Sabot is a game changer, and I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if it started appearing on records in the very near future. Don’t sit on the decision, the only regret you could ever have is not scooping one up. You won’t find another amp as versatile and a business more dedicated at this price range.

After being in the market for a high gain amp for about 6 months I found the Sabot 6550. Pure metal utopia! Sure you can dial the gain back for some bluesy rock type tones if that’s your thing, but that’s not why I bought a single channel fire breathing amp. I bought it to shred and let me tell you……it shreds. Although it’s one channel, the toggle switches affect the amp so much. The “Mode” toggle (formerly known as “Grit” in the demos) is essentially giving you three amps in one! The eq section is extremely responsive as well. Finding the tone that suits you couldn’t be easier. “All knobs noon, all switches up, crank the attack, adjust sweep to taste….trust me“ words from the man James himself. Master and gain to taste and you’re well on your way to finding your tone!
Build quality is superb. The thing is built like a tank (no pun intended as the name of this amp is an armor piercing round used to penetrate tank armor) and is very aesthetically pleasing as well. Through the whole process James has been nothing short of phenomenal answering any questions I had before purchasing and still continues to this day after I have become a proud owner. If your thinking about getting a Sabot, DO IT because this secret won’t be kept from the industry much longer. This is going to be THE amp company in the metal scene and the price is definitely right for a HAND BUILT amplifier. Order yours today and join the movement.
