My name is John Pratt, and I met Max in 2006 when I asked to service my first Butler amp (the Silver Hammer). Unfortunately Max passed away on at the age of 80. ![]() ![]() He’s built amps for some very famous players, and he’s never tried to “cash in” despite his incredible knowledge and talent. Max has never advertised in any way – on, or off the Internet, and yet he’s friends with some of the biggest names in electronics, gear, and amp building in the world. For those of us that have met Max, and that play and use his amps – there is nothing else. He definitely chased “the tone” all of that time, and was building custom guitar amps well before the terms “boutique” or “vintage” amps were coined. ![]() Max Butler built point to point style guitar amps quietly in Eaton Rapids, Michigan for more than 32 years.
