The FRENZEL Stereo SS-84  was designed as a stereo amp platform for all your audio gear. It will transform you back to the time when tubes ruled the audio world.  If you love the vintage high fidelity tube sound....you will love this amp. It comes standard with  many unique features including a separate volume, tone stack, and presence controls for each channel which allows you to fine tune the sound just the way you like it.

We also offer as an option a custom input interface for use as a  power amp for your musical instruments....such as a guitar or keyboard.

Jim - I am sitting and listening to your amp- it is all warmed up and playing a new "Tommy" LP.   The amp sounds just stunning: very powerful and dynamic, detailed, open, huge bottom end.  I will say that bypassing the presence and treble controls raised the volume and lifted a veil.  I have listened to and owned lots of amps and I am amazed by the value in this one- it could compete with  amps costing three times as much.  Once warmed up, it was immediately and completely involving.  Please feel free to use me as a reference for this fine amp.  Best regards, Jeff S.

Hi Jim - I just wanted to let you know that I have received the 4772 amp today. Man, does it look beautiful!!!To me, it is a piece of art, just like the other amps I have from you. I was impressed by it's size, it is bigger than I thought and sometimes bigger is better :-) It seems to have survived the journey over the Atlantic well. I am really happy Jim, thank you so much for building it for me! You guys at Frenzel are the best. I will get back to you for more orders soon..(thinking of the twin deluxe and the champ sportster at the moment..and I have some ideas that we might get to work) and oh yes, that mic-preamp we were discussing some time ago! Only a fool would be satisfied before he have all the products you have to offer. :-) Honestly, your amps warm my heart, I am not just buying an amp when I buy from you, it's so much more and so much better (and definitely more value!!)! Once again, thank you so much!! Anders H. (Switzerland)

Thank you Jim. I spent two hours last night discovering what I have been missing from my CDs. I finally found the amp that would match my DIY full-range speakers and at a price that did not leave a hole in my pocket. Thank you for the passion and effort that have been placed into the building of this amp.  It shows in the results. Basil C. (California)
