About Fat Tone Amps
Fat Tone Amps: The Very Best Blues Harmonica Amplifiers.
Fat Tone Amps have tuned & engineered each amp into a pure art form.
Much like the music you will produce on them every Fat Tone Amp is made to exacting standards of design especially for you.
Fat Tone Amps Description
David Walker, the Founder and Director of Fat Tone Amps, started building his own amplifiers for harmonicas (blues harps) and turned his lifelong passions for both music and electronics into a new and successful business.
David says: “I have always had a fascination for blues, ever since I was a young boy. I have played harp all my life and have been in various bands, on and off, playing blues harp and sax, for the best part of 30 years. “
. . . we are not an ‘off the shelf’ solution . . . ours is a total design process that involves the customer in each stage of construction and final testing.
Having been a harp player since his youth David knew that the holy grail for every player is that individual ‘tone’ or unique sound.
David says: “Here at Fat Tone Amps we are not an ‘off the shelf’ solution – we provide a tailored and custom-build service to every client, ours is a total design process that involves the customer in each stage of construction and final testing. “
“Throughout the process, which can take up to three months to complete, we work face-to-face with our customer in a really committed, precise way to ensure that they can release their own true tone through the amp, adding distortions, customised reverb and tremolo and all modulated for each individual. ”
Every Fat Tone Amp produced by David and the team chooses the best circuitry and components needed to enhance the tone and preference of the player and because of its bespoke configuration the amps are also easy to repair and adjust or add to through the company’s after care service.

By popular demand, a short demo of the new demonstration amp which features the Fat Tone Boost switch. #tubeamp #harpamp #harpgear #harpmic #bluesharp #ukblues
Just finished building the new demo amp, an FTA HAWK single 10” combo. Sounds sublime. We decided to stick with the bare finish and stencilling for this one. A bit of free advertising when we take it on the road 😎👍 #tubeamp #harpamp #harpgear #harpmic #bluesharp #ukblues

Hand-crafted means everything is done at every stage by hand. Those hands belong to Mr Fat Tone Amps himself, David Walker. Here’s how he makes the chassis #tubeamp #harpamp #harpgear #harpmic #bluesharp #ukblues
We currently have two builds in progress at the Fat Tone Amps workshop, both at the wiring stage. All by hand with love and care. #tubeamp #harpamp #harpgear #harpmic #bluesharp #ukblues #electronics
Our process - Bring your harps and mics to our workshop, experiment and select your sound then let us build your perfect harp amp. No compromises #tubeamp #harpamp #harpgear #harpmic #bluesharp #ukblues
When we were looking for inspiration to name our three amp models, Fat Tone Amps endorser and award winning blues musician Eddie Martin reminded us that Little Walter, the father of the modern amplified harp sound, created his style and tone to emulate the bebop sax players that he so admired. So it’s fitting that we have chosen to name our amps after three of the greatest sax players of that era.
FTA HAWK Our flagship single-ten model is named after Coleman “Hawk” Hawkins.
... FTA PREZ Our single-twelve model is named after Lester Willis “Prez” Young.
FTA BIRD Our twin-ten model is named after Charlie “Bird” Parker
We’ve chosen the names but the choice of circuit configuration including pre-amp, tone stack, speaker model and cab finish, is still up to you in consultation with us during your workshop visit where you’ll find your tone. #tubeamp #harpamp #harpgear #harpmic #bluesharp #ukblues
