Every now and then, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on the journey...
I'm turning 50 tomorrow and for me it's a reminder that it's never too late to learn somthing new or just go down a new road.

2 years ago, I set out to recreate, build upon, one of the most rare and killer guitar tube preamps ever created: Todd Langner's DCP-1.
I put in more hours of tracing, testing and failures than I care to recount until I was in a place that I was comfortable putting it out in the public space.

I've been lucky enough to get the LTP-1 into the hands of musicians across the country, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported my work. I hope I've honored the spirit of Todd's original design while carrying my own engineering philosophy along with it.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, believed in my work, and put one of my preamps in their rack.

And the biggest thanks of all, to my wife and partner! Her support and work behind the scenes keeps this all running.

I'm excited to see where this journey takes us next.
