Well there are many clones of all these beloved amps that are made by small boutique amp builders  that I won't mention here. These individuals are very threatened by Nik's amps, because they are high quality and very affordable. He also demystifies the ridiculous hype that these amps have by offering them quickly and with high quality.


These amp guys really get upset when someone is competing with them on a design, that they themselves have borrowed.

Funny thing, if Nik charged the outrageous prices that the other cloners do, then there would be no issue, but the fact that Nik offers a great product for a great price, really threatens these builders.

I build and design tube amps for myself, and sell them occasionally to friends and others. And I know the costs involved.

Anyway, Nik if your reading this, build away forget the naysayers, keep up the great work!

The SLO is the most cloned amp out there. The SLO Clone forums actively and Openly clone SLO amps, as does Ted Weber. That would be an amp that no one in their right mind could even argue about cloning.

Very cool!  Place to be
