Anniversary Sale! $200 off all Amps and Cabs!

Twenty years ago, Bud Henriksen didn’t set out to start a company; he set out to solve a problem he lived every time he stepped onto a bandstand. Frustrated by amplifiers that masked the true voice of his instrument, Bud went "down the rabbit hole" to engineer a solution that acted as a transparent window rather than a filter. After sending ten prototypes to the ears that mattered most—from local journeymen to world-class professionals—the verdict was unanimous: Bud had captured the tonal truth. Two decades later, Henriksen Amplifiers remains a family-owned mission to provide the global artist community with professional-grade, essential tools that respect the luthier’s intent and the player's touch. We’re celebrating this 20-year milestone the only way we know how: by supporting the artists who rely on us to make their living, one gig at a time.
