Every Dexter amp is hand-built at their shop in Monrovia, California using only the best quality components, including tested-vintage and NOS US-made tubes. These amps are based on classics, but they’ve been redesigned for the modern musician. Whether you are playing live, recording, or just enjoying lush tube tones at home, Dexter amps accurately capture the warmth and feel of handcrafted amps from the ‘50s and ‘60s. But they’ve made some updates that give these amps even more versatility and functionality. But mainly, they design amps with tone that will blow your mind… at any volume. 

The Dexter Pup is the perfect amp for home or studio— maybe even small gigs!  When it comes to amps that break up at reasonable volumes, there’s just something about how a tube amp sounds when it’s working really hard.  The Pup’s circuit is based on the original Fender Champ, but Dexter Amps have taken it a few steps further. First of all, they’ve done away with the tinny-sounding speaker in favor of a 10” Weber speaker that does an equally good job with clean tones and overdrive. They’ve also changed the tone structure of the amp to allow it to perform better under all circumstances.

Finally, Dexter designed the Pup with a bigger, burlier output transformer for shockingly full bass. You can turn the Pup all the way up and it will stay punchy and tight, but you can also roll the volume knob down for warm, full clean tones that are perfect for recording or bedroom playing. They thought about adding some extra bells and whistles, but at the end of the day, the Pup only needs one knob to do the job.
