At AXPONA 2026, Amspandsound founder Justin Weber discusses the gear being shown in the company's room in an interview with Ken Micallef that's now posted on our YouTube channel.
Certain qualities hold true throughout the Ampsandsound line—supremely low noise floors, liquidity, tactile-ness of notes, utter naturalness, and a quality I would describe as presence with punch.
While playing Norman Greenbaum's early '70s spirit rock anthem "Spirit in the Sky," the Ampsandsound system at AXPONA 2026 conveyed all the low end of a satisfied lion, midrange richness recalling a forkful of pecan pie, and a sprightly treble infused with refined hi-hat, guitar, and percussion.
