Jens Ritter "ENCORE" Guitar Tube Amp Reveal 

It would be perfect for that casual eating room in everybody's mansion that is designed to look like a 50's diner.

I love the look 100% , very thought out and well done. The sound is incredible.

Do I get a large sign that says I am irresponsible with money with a purchase? And maybe some speech classes so I don't speak in a way that clearly reflects buyers remorse?

Jens is a visionary who makes amazing instruments. He may be MORE of a visionary genius marketer/huckster of sorts. He made "The world's most expensive Bass guitar" by blinging them up with jewels. Instant luxury branding. A tacky approach in my mind, but it worked! He sold the idea of his instruments literally being art with flowery talk and arranging museum exhibits. Again it worked! To be fair, very bold aesthetic choices go into Ritter's instruments, so that helped pull this off. More power to Jens. Now we're seeing these tactics carried over to this amplifier: Distinctive shape. Bling on the knobs. Gold on the hardware. Displayed on a pedestal in an art gallery. Only touched with gloves. Again more power to Jens if people are willing to pay the 40K. What DOES bug me is the scarcity tactic, selling "The FINAL tube amp" idea. "We heard rumors the EU wants to ban tubes". That was proposed in 2017 for 2019. I cannot find any evidence this is a current EU issue. Currently there IS a ban on RUSSIAN tubes as a sanction. Even if a full EU ban was going to happen, Jens's response is to put existing tubes in a financially inaccessible product?

It looks like a 50's fast food sign, it doesn't look like an amplifier it looks like a fast food sign or a movie prop

$40,000?! You are dreaming! Akka-Dakka baby!!!

Form over function!? The thing looks like the back end of a late '50 Buick, and about as practical. I guess you need a $40,000 amp to go with your $1,000 pickups.

I just redid the roof and siding on my house for less than the price of this 😢

You drive up to it and order a hamburger and a cute girl on roller skates brings it out to you.

That rumor that tube were going to be banned in the EU was an april fool's joke, I believe.

Retired dudes mashing Barre chords on a singlecut are the target audience for this product

😮🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

36000€?! 😂😂😂

Tell me you're money laundering without telling me you're money laundering

There's a reason why amps are square. SO YOU CAN STACK THEM!!! Literally just put that same covering and speakers in square enclosures and it's instantly more practical. Also, that wonky asymmetrical shape to me looks like it'd be harder to carry and move, which matters when it's 40 bands

Awesome design and concept!

Koscho!

Sounds like crap

Lol, that thing looks stupid as anything, no player is going to buy and gig that.

Why so cheap?

Are these things really going to be $40K???

Even if I was Elon Musk I'd still find it had to justify spending $40,000 of my space research money on a guitar amplifier. I don't even think the owner of the Colts wants this.

Mm..kay,,, Somebody is high. Make amplifiers, or make furniture, or make jewelry. Pick one and price it so you can get it into a persons home. Musicians do not need jewels on their amp. Stop being ridiculous. They will build 3 amps per year? They will be overstocked on year 1.

Ridiculous crap for snobs.

It’s a NO from me, dawg!! 😐

🤣🤣🤣 what a joke

WTF ?

No thanks! I love the tone hunt. Way to to expensive for much. It'll be like buying a fast car and not wanting to drive it due to price and possible accidents. JENS gotta be shitten me.

Beautifully designed tube amplifier. I’m so tired of the governments wanting to ban things. Banning Tubes! For God’s sake. Tube amplifiers sound so beautiful.

Mediocre tones for the aspiring narcissist.

Glad the EU doesn’t rule over my choices. So sad for their cold and hungry citizens.

I hear nothing so.... special...sorry...

Yuck

Wow someone is pretentious as fk. If i got this amp id sell it ( not that anyone in thier right fln mond would buy it) and buy i dunno... a new home???
