Introducing the Custom Audio Electronics OD-100 one-hundred-watt All Tube Guitar Amplifier. Designed after years of painstaking research and development with some of the finest guitarists in the industry, the OD-100 is a two-channel 3-mode amp capable of a wide variety of vintage to modern tones. Its straightforward design with rugged construction is simple to use yet extremely versatile. From a warm, fat and punchy clean sound to blistering overdrive and everything in between, this amp must be played and heard to be believed.
Peter Thorn, one of the most in-demand session and touring guitarists in the hyper-competitive LA music scene (gigs with Don Henley, Chris Cornell, Jewel, and Courtney Love to his credit among others), demos his CAA PT-100 amplifier which was developed by John Suhr with input from Peter. Peter needed the OD-100 Standard Plus tweaked to his needs to get the widest variety of sounds possible without any compromise – American Blackface clean, vintage Plexi, and hot-rodded British distortion. The PT100 delivers all this and more.

- A Solid State series effects loop is provided along with a return level control (power section master volume) to allow interfacing with a wide variety of effects devices. The loop circuit and return level control are only in the signal path when cables are connected to the effects loop. The individual channel master level controls act as effects send levels and the return level control then acts as an overall master volume when the loop is used. The effects send jack is always active and is useful as a low impedance preamp section line out.
- 4-EL34s power tubes with a custom designed output transformer.
- Worldwide line voltage capability utilizing standard or European fusing.
- Regulated DC heaters for the 6 12AX7 preamp tubes provide low noise and increased tube life.
- Control channel selection and CH2 boost mode with a simple dual latching footswitch.
