WEM Audiomaster for sale. The incredible sounding 5-channel mixing amplifier with spring reverb designed in the 1960s by Charlie Watkins.
These have a huge place in the history of live music, and for that reason alone a clean, functioning one ought to be a very desirable item, if only to a collector. However it is the sound of this that eclipses that: five channels of drive, plus a superb sounding spring reverb. Everyone we know who has one of these swears by it as an essential item in constant use in their studio.
Charlie Watkins had the design for this for a few years before he put it into production. But he did more than just make these things: he got down in the mud at the festivals where they were first used, setting up and fine-tuning the systems for the first artists to ever play on a “massive” 1000W of sound.
All original where it matters. Serviced by us including replacement of electrolytic caps. Supplied with warranty.
