About Powell Amplification
About Powell Amplification
I started Powell Amplification because there wasn’t enough versatility in the tube amps that were on the market. Many were one-trick ponies, and a handful knew a second trick. Digital modeling amps don’t really capture the sound or the feel of a good tube amp, so to begin filling this hole in the market, I designed The Midnighter.

Design Philosophy
Design Philosophy
My design philosophy is pretty simple. Rather than hardwire what my amps sound like, I design them to let the player tailor the amp to his or her specific tastes. Some of the basic controls work in a more useful manner than they do on many other amps, and there are also controls that aren’t found on other amps at all. I’m currently designing additional models, and there will be innovative features on those amps, as well. Stay tuned!

The Midnighter
The Midnighter
The Midnighter is a touch-sensitive single-channel amplifier that can be reconfigured to meet your needs. You can take it from crisp cleans to saturated distortion, from scooped mids to warm, thick tones. It can give you deep lows, if you want them. The “feel” can be adjusted from loose and a little sloppy to focused and tight, and the reverb can be bright and splashy, dark and smokey, or anything in between. The Midnighter supports the use of 6V6, 6L6, and EL34 power tubes in both cathode bias and fixed bias configurations. It’s a collection of great amps in one box.
