Sound Pure's Take

Sound Pure is proud to annouce that starting in 2011, we will be the only Fargen dealer to stock combo amps from Fargen! 

Ben Fargen recently limited his production to four amplifier heads.  This has made their line much more exclusive as more time goes into an individual amps construction.

In 2010, Fargen combo amps were only available as a custom shop creation.  The popular Blackbird series of 1x12 combo amps will rise again as a Sound Pure exclusive!  20 and 40 watt versions will be available soon, only at Sound Pure Guitars!
