Doug Anderson with his early DB7 in for a new Solid Walnut Cab
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
A happy (if not mildly theatrical) Doug Anderson posing with his early DB7 amp after its update to â+â status as well as a recasing into a new, solid Walnut cabinet. Doug was around at the inception of my interest in music. He was teaching at the
Old Town School of Folk Music (then in Evanston, IL) in the 70âs during a time when my mom worked there. I was the snot nosed little kid, who was being paid in silver dollars, to put flyers for the school under peoples windshield wipers. Fast forward a couple of decades and our families are old friends with newer generations being added. Iâve always appreciated Dougâs friendship, musicianship and generosity with his fellow humans. I couldnât imagine a better âbrand ambassadorâ for Schroeder Amps! Videos of Doug Anderson playing Schroeder amps can be found on my website and YouTube page at schroederamplification.com and www.youtube.com/user/SchroederVidsÂ

Thank you to my old friend Dana Cannone, owner and chief engineer of The Church Recording Studio in Pittsburg PA, for sending me this video. Gary Jacob of The Clarks is on steel playing through a Schroeder SA9+ head and Small Block cab. I canât tell you what a thrill and joy it is for me to hear my creations being played by folks with this level of musicianship. It keeps my heart and soul inline! Thank you!â
Why don't you see many Schroeder Amplification amps for sale?
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
Why donât you see many used Schroeder amps for sale? When you buy a Schroeder amp, itâs for life. So many of my customers have been searching for âthe rightâ amp for decades. Buying, trying and ultimately selling, only to repeat this process again and again. On my bench today are a couple of my first ârealâ model, the DB7 (now the SA9+). Still owned by the original owner and are in my shop to be freshened up and UPGRADED. Yes thatâs right. All of my amplifiers have an upgrade path so that the person who INVESTED IN one of my amps 15 years ago, can use the same amp that theyâve loved, while sharing in design upgrades that have been developed over the years. I canât think of any other builders who offer this type of lifetime commitment to their creations or customers!
Iggy Pop Concert Ticket
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
Iggy Pop at Chicagoâs Cabaret Metro in 1988. A 17 year old Tim had his mind (and ears) blown. A packed and very sweaty crowd waited for an even sweatier Iggy to jump into the sea of hands so they could pass him around. Flat out Marshall amps and a room full of enough raw energy to power a construction site. Those were the days!â
The Bryston Rig of My Dreams
Posted by Tim Schroeder on
Iâm so happy to add this phono stage to my arsenal of demo units. The Bryston PS-3 (top) is the dedicated power supply and the BP2 is the phono stage. It can handle both Moving Magnet (MM) as well as Moving Coil (MC) cartridges. Capacitive loading is available on the MM side while the MC cartridges are fed through an incredibly musical, Jensen transformer which yields 20dB of additional gain (also available in 30dB). The sound is pure luxury. Detail in the music is revealed from a silent backdrop instead of being thrust at youâŚ
