KAT Brian May Deacy Amp Replica

AT LAST – The Ultimate Deacy amp !

"After many years of research, development, near misses and epic failures, The LEGENDARY DEACY AMP REPLICA is finally here !  This amplifier is a kind of clone of the original (legendary) 'Deacy Amp' – the twin brother it never had.  

Until now ...  

I have lost count of the songs that feature the sound of me playing through the Deacy amp.  I discovered that with a bit of care, I could make the guitar sound like trumpets, trombones, and clarinets, (Good Company) – but there was a special quality of the sound this amp could produce which was completely new … nothing like anything that can be made using electronic boxes or computer simulations (we have tried). I used it (alongside my tried and tested Vox AC30) sounds to build guitar orchestras on “Procession”, notably on “The Feller’s Master-Stroke”, on Queen II; later on, on “Killer Queen”, Lily of the Valley”, “God Save The Queen”, “The Millionaire Waltz”, “All Dead, All Dead”, and even that old chestnut, “Bohemian Rhapsody”. And many others too numerous to name. But perhaps the most sublime sound that ever emerged from the Deacy amp is just one lone solo guitar ‘voice’ – on “A Winters’s Tale”, on the Made in Heaven album. The combination of my old home-made Red Special guitar, a simple treble booster and the Deacy amp, just soared to the heavens, a perfect foil for this exquisite ethereal Mercury vocal. Well, it’s been nearly 40 years, but finally we can offer you guys out there your very own personal Deacy, to enjoy.

Who needs synthesisers ?!

Plug it in – turn it up - be inspired !! "
