About Us     

From Dan Bulter
President, Butler Custom Sound
Chicago Blues Box


First, a heart-felt thank you for stopping in to take a look at our Chicago Blues Box series of amplifiers. I have repaired and modified countless tube amplifiers for many great players and from this experience I have come to understand what a player wants in a great amplifier. Most would just as soon forget about all the bells and whistles but settle for nothing less than a reliable amplifier with plenty of raw guts to cut through the band mix and enough pure tone to ignite their true artistic inspiration.
I have always been inspired by the classic circuitry of yesterday that players world-wide have made popular. I modified classic tube circuitry and improved it with today's technologies. Tweaked it a little here and a little there. Then listened carefully to the results. The net result of all this is the creation of a new breed of blues amplification. The Chicago Blues Box has captured the elusive 3-dimensional tone that is missing from so many of today's new amplifier designs. This amp is alive and ready to inspire your art.

Good luck with your musical experiences, be true to your art.
