A note from Kyle

We’re behind, and I’m sorry.

We’re behind on orders, and we’re behind on messages and support requests.  I’m sorry for the lack of response from my staff, and from me personally.  This is on me.

My guarantee -- if you have a product on order with us, or a repair in our queue, I will finish it before the end of 2026.

A recent expansion didn’t work.  We’ve contracted to a more reasonable size, and I’ve taken everything back over -- production, support and product development.  We’ve shipped nearly 30 orders in the last week alone.

I’m now answering customer emails, messages and social media myself, along with some new help to ensure it doesn’t happen again.  Please be patient -- we will get back to you.

What’s changing

We’ve spent the last several months building a new system to run the company, including a customer portal at portal.ksramps.com.  You will receive build updates, photos and status emails, and we’ll post notices about wider issues, such as transformer shortages, to the orders they affect.  Make sure you’re subscribed to order updates so you receive these emails.

New test stations for pedals, speakers and amps check every product before it leaves the shop, and we keep that test data on file.

Current lead times

Product	Ships in
Pedals	About 1 week
Cables	1-2 weeks
Speaker cabinets	1-4 weeks, depending on speaker availability
PA50	2-3 weeks or less (limited transformers)
PA-50R	3-4 weeks or less (limited transformers)
PA-100R	4-6 weeks (waiting on transformers)
Full-size heads	About 3-6 months

Some items are in stock, and some are showing as in stock that aren’t.  I’m cleaning up the site and correcting the stock statuses now.  I’m sorry for any confusion.

Prices go up October 10, 2026

Prices on all amplifier heads will increase on October 10.  Full-size heads will go up by as much as $500, depending on the model.  The PA50, PA-50R and PA-100R will increase as well.  Pedal prices are staying where they are for now.

Nearly everything that goes into an amp costs more than it did -- vacuum tubes, the iron and copper in our transformers, raw materials like aluminum, and the freight to get all of it to our door.  Tariffs have pushed up the price of electrical components, and our operating costs have climbed with them.

If you already have an order or a deposit with us, your price doesn’t change.

This June makes 18 years.  We have new things coming, and we will be on top once again.  Onward and upward!

KSR Amps, a division of Rhodes Amplification, LLC, began in 2009 with one goal: design and build the finest guitar amplifi years later, everything from full-size heads to pedals, cabinets and IRs is still built by our own team in our 18,000 ft² Ohio shop.

“We take pride in our work -- and this is why our products bear my initials.  Tone is subjective, but our sound speaks for itself.”
