Boutique, hand-wired amps and cabs — crafted in Australia for serious tone chasers.
From rough Australian Messmate timber to a finished boutique tube amplifier!
Here's a quick look at the workshop process behind our custom Achillies Apollo Nyx 8W.
Every piece of timber has its own character, and that's what makes these builds so special.
No background music — just the natural sounds of the workshop.

What happens when you run a $3,000 fuzz pedal into an already cranked 6V6 tube amp? 🔥
The Achillies Apollo Quad is already producing plenty of its own natural saturation here, running through our Phoenix 4x10 loaded with four Jensen P10/40 Blackbirds.
Then we bring in the Cesar Diaz Texas Square Face to push it even harder — followed by the Strymon Volante Magnetic Echo Machine, which adds a completely different dimension to the sound.
The pedals aren't creating the foundation of the tone. The Apollo Quad is already doing that. They're taking an already cranked tube amp somewhere else.
