AMPS
In the history of amp building, as well as amp builders, there has never been an approach quite like that of Amp Designer Daniel F. Margasa. His guitar amplifiers are renowned amongst the most elite players of the world. His tones have been called everything from innovative and classic, vintage inspired to modern and driven. In his own words Daniel describes his amps as “beautifully simple with a complex tonal depth all their own.”
Margasa Amps are unique in the way they are built as much as in the way that they sound.
Daniel personally drills the chassis, glues and cuts the cabinets, wires the guts and upholsters all of the leather work. Unlike any other amp on the planet, Margasa Amps are built by one set of hands from start to finish.

Lady Deadlock
The Lady Deadlock is the Margasa Flagship Amp Line. A single-ended all tube point to point hand wired unit. The Deadlock’s true strength is in its ability to produce extremely sparkling cleans throughout the tonal spectrum. It is also well rounded in its use of being overdriven and showing some grit when pushed. It has the natural ability to reproduce the tones generated by your choice of effects pedals with amazing accuracy. It is a very touch sensitive amplifier capable of transferring your musical creativity from the fret board to the speakers.
The quality of a Deadlock build is unsurpassed. Produced by one set of hands from start to finish using the best components (i.e. solid silver, Teflon coated wire, military grade audio pots, Switchcraft jacks, custom built Mercury Magnetics transformers, and the highest quality 6L6 or EL34 tubes).
This unit can be built to order in a 30 or 40 watt single channel head .
Baby Deadlock
The Baby Deadlock is built to the same exacting standards as its big sister, only it is built in a 5 or 10 Watt lower power version for studio applications. Tone is sparkling cleans on the lower end and warm and saturated when pushed to high volumes. Runs a single 12AX7 and a single EL84 in the output section.
