While everything today is becoming faster, bigger, and more powerful, we at GLOCKENKLANG have given serious thought to how we can make products "better." We quickly realized that, unfortunately, essential aspects are all too often neglected or completely overlooked in this race to the top. Terms like "purity of sound," "richness of detail," "playfulness," and "liveliness" come to mind. We've learned that cultivating these qualities is very difficult and technically demanding. And that, of course, comes at a price. GLOCKENKLANG products aren't inexpensive; they're worth every penny. You experience this immediately with the first note. And you'll never forget it. It is in keeping with this philosophy that we develop and produce our high-end products today and will continue to do so in the future.
Dynamics, warmth, and outstanding detail resolution up to the highest volume levels. The Blue Bird Amp offers up to 900 watts of power and a multitude of features. Furthermore, the amplifier has two instrument inputs. One for bass at normal levels and one with adjustable attenuation for bass at higher levels.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Glockenklang, founder Udo Klemp-Giesing and new owner Gawan Linnemann conceived a limited special edition of the Blue Bird. Ten amplifiers with a gold-anodized front panel were produced. Each amplifier is also hand-signed by Udo on the top panel!
