Have you ever wondered why it is that the more expensive an amp is, the better it sounds? Well, the painstaking research scientists here at Dusky Electronics have cracked the code and have discovered it's a process we call, "psychoacoustic cupping". This effect literally means the more you paid for the amplifier, the better it sounds. It's just science, people.
At Dusky Electronics, we're proud to announce that this premium experience is now available to our customers: introducing the new D₂O Amplifier Premium. Don't worry, we haven't really changed a thing except for the price tag, but we're sure you'll find that through the premium experience of paying more, you'll get an amplifier that is more expressive, detailed, and full bodied, and well, just more pleasurable to play. That's because the higher price stimulates the dopamine receptors in your brain, making you feel better and more attractive, which makes you play, and yes, sound better.
Of course, price isn't the only thing that makes these amplifiers sound better. We also use pseudoscientific language to create a premium aura around our premium amplifiers. Grain aligned aluminum chassis? Check. Magnetic flux output transformer? Check. Quark expressed proton capacitors? I guess? Sure?
This premium experience can be yours. Don't delay! For your buying and playing pleasure there are three tiers of premium experience to choose from:
How preorders work
Amplifiers are made in batches and sold as preorders to gauge demand for the batch. A small, non-refundable deposit is required to place a preorder. At the end of the preorder period, all the parts to build the batch are ordered and finished amps start shipping to customers six to eight weeks later. Balance will be due when your amp is ready to ship. When your amp becomes available will depend on how large the batch ends up being and where you are in line.
Each batch will be different with different models rotating in for each batch. When and if a model comes up again as available for preorder there will at least be cosmetic differences, like a different color scheme or different cutout design, to distinguish one batch from another.
