KLD Firetone 18 is a great Marshall sounding low wattage amp.
Where most Marshall clones fail, this design is unique, with tube driven reverb and scalable wattage, hand made circuits and a sweet sound, with defined low end and crispy high end.
The dynamics are good. By using lots of gain from the amp, and rolling back the volume on the guitar, you can achieve dirty to clean sounds in the twist of a volume knob. Classic rock style.
KLD Firetone 18 HR is a great recording amp for those guitar professionals that need either a low wattage Marshall amp on stage, or in their home studio. This amp can be cranked for sweet sounds, without reaching crazy loud volumes!

great if you get the amp and every thing works i got one over a year ago and still arguing with kld guitar to get me the stuff to fix it my self i have been emailing for a year first the transformer was dead on arrival i had to buy two new ones from them as they said i bought it from ebay so they don't cover it it was from there eBay store then the tubes they sent me failed in my tube tester i finally got it to power on with new tubes im almost at 300 after buying it for 150 spending 100 on tubes and another 50 on the chassis they did send me a front or back plates with the chassis now plugged it tried to play thru it it sound low so i tried turning up the volume the knob can off with the stem from the pot to make matters worse all the pots are messed up in one way or another this company need to quit making made to break amps dont get fooled by these videos this is not fender it will not be around in 50 years still working
How much, mate? Like, dinero?
Wonder if 2 in a chassis with ganged pots?
I'm looking at old kits but am not ding ones with reverb or a shell
I ordered one of these after watching a video many thanks I then decided to order there PVA18 pre assembled handwired kit as full unit not available to consumers? Seller Yongdong Pan at KLDGuitar was rude I only asked for a tracking number said he wont send till next week was listed as dispatched within 2 days so I pointed out it should already be on its way? He sent me a shitty message and cancelled order still not had a refund WTF great customer service! I will be buying anything but a KLD now well done little dong!
Can ask a potentially stupid question – what are sky and earth controls doing? And one quick other question – what is the clean(ish) headroom? Would it keep up with a drummer?
do they sell the amp assembled or is it one of the kits.wiring heaters is a pia and bleh.
