The Kendrick Climax is a handbuilt Texas blues amplifier from Gerald Weber's Austin-area Kendrick Amplifiers, built to deliver authentic vintage American blues tone. Weber designed Kendrick amps as love letters to the vintage Fender circuit designs that underpinned classic Texas blues, with careful attention to capacitor and resistor selection for maximum musical response. The Climax is a dedicated Texas blues machine with the dynamic touch sensitivity and warm compression that the genre demands.
