Viking Amplifiers is the result of a genuine love for tube guitar amplifiers. Eric (the Viking) decided he needed to fulfill this desire by delving deeply into the inner workings of these wonderous boxes that made your guitar come to life in a way pre electric history never could.

After a number of amplifier repair/tweaking/modifying manuevers it was decided that the world required a new tube guitar amplifier. One that would sound as good, if not better than the rest, but also due to a history of back trauma from hauling heavy rigs to gigs he decided it needed to be light. The only problem with this is that tube amps at the time not only required heavy power transformers but equally heavy output transformers. Solid state amps didn't share this problem but Eric had never played thru a solid state amp that really made him want to play like he wanted to play.

So the solution was simple: design an all tube guitar amplifier that didn't need those heavy hunks of iron to operate. Eric was the inventive sort- making do with whatever he had to achieve his goals.
