?Whitney Amplification was started in 1999 in Charleston, SC. Mike was a partner in Gemini Studios opening in December, 1994, played in a few bands, as well as serving in the U.S. Navy. His education in recording engineering from the University of Tennessee coupled with his electronics background made him a natural behind the console and well as a gifted technician on client gear. As the demands of the business end of a recording studio dimmed the passion of studio operations, the idea of building amplifiers of his own design was peaking. In the fall of 1999, the first original build named Single Voice Reverb was built.In the next four years, three more circuits were developed and it was obvious that building amps was the correct direction for Mike. He sold his share of the studio to fund the start up of Whitney Amplification. In 2003, the business was moved to Groton, CT due to transfer of duty station.
From 2003 until 2010 two more circuits were created, and demand increased significantly. Production was limited by the demands of his service on Submarines but doggedly continued forward. In 2010, Mike retired from the Navy after 24 years. His full attention was now directed towards the crafting of boutique quality amplifiers at working musician prices. At the peak, Mike was producing an amplifier every 10 ten days.
Realizing he needed a proper tax vehicle, Mike partnered up in a startup retail MI store named Spindrift Guitars in 2012. The store remains the sole physical presence and one of the two electronic sites of Whitney Amplification. In 2013, a fruitful collaboration was created when he met Mark Stoleson of Stol Guitars. The two businesses merged in 2015 and have been producing high quality instruments and amplification ever since. Whit and Stoli is your home for custom tone.
At present, the Single Voice Reverb (SVR), the Dual Voice (DV), the TremorVerb, the Two Channel Wonder (TCW) and its cousin the All Tube Distortion(ATD) are in production. Custom building still continues as it has since the start of the business.

So I spent some time researching YouTube videos learning how the Fender standalone units work and how they differ from say the REVERB dial on a Deluxe or Twin (or whatever). Initially I just dorked around with it but really I wanted to understand what those three knobs DID. This was one of the least "nerdy"of the videos I found and I share it with you.

My thoughts on Mike Whitney's work - this is one fun but really serious guy. His amp is rock solid, dead quiet and in that oxblood Mojotone cabinet with the wheat grill cloth it's gorgeous. You can't go wrong. Mike builds all kinds of amps and I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was working with him...
