Design

Early in the design stages of the Jackson Ampworks series of amplifiers, many design standards were adopted and adhered to. Some of these design standards are as follows:

Simple Is Better

When designing an amplifier, the more simple and clean the audio path is, the more pure and true the resulting tone will be. That is why great tone has be designed in from the beginning.

We at Jackson Ampworks do not simply add features until the resulting amplifier sounds impressive. We on the other hand start with a clean slate and establish the design goals for an amplifier, and then only when that goal has been met do we proceed with adding additional features.

At Jackson Ampworks we feel strongly that when you first play a Jackson Ampworks amplifier, both you and your ears will agree – simple is better!

Do Not Cut Corners on Quality or Tone

When designing and manufacturing a product, there are countless opportunities to cut costs for the sake of saving a few dollars, but that is something that we have never allowed ourselves to do. By using the highest quality parts and processes, we can be certain that our amplifiers are the best amplifiers available and will provide the user with a lifetime of toneful and worry-free service.

Turret Board Construction

In our opinion, turret board construction represents the most rugged, reliable and toneful method of creating a circuit board. Many guitar amplifiers which are 40+ years old feature turret board construction, and are still working flawlessly, a testament to the durability of the turret board type of construction.

Use the Best/Highest Quality Parts Available

Every Jackson Ampworks amplifier is a testament to build quality in every area. From our laser cut and welded aluminum chassis, to our Clarostat conductive plastic potentiometers, you simply cannot find an amplifier that is better or more carefully constructed. See our gallery page for more information on the quality with which Jackson Ampworks amplifiers are constructed.
