ABOUT CORNELL
HOW WE STARTED
Cornell amps started in 1991 but our history goes back way before that and it all starts with Denis Cornell.
Denis's early years in the amplifier industry were spent working at Vox amplification. Denis has an intimate design and service knowledge of Vox amplifiers and proudly assisted Tom Jennings with the company relaunch in 1976.
As a freelance amplifier engineer Denis spent many hours solving complex technical problems and was employed to help Fender (Europe) with new designs. Denis had a key role in Arbiter groups London facility designing products and worked on the now highly sought original Arbiter Fuzz Face.
Sound City's groundbreaking MKIII/IV amp's were co designed by Denis along with his long time friend and senior development engineer Brian Hucker.
Over the years Denis has assisted in the design and development of amplifiers from some of the worlds best known amp manufacturers and his knowledge and assistance has been pivotal in the design in many of todays iconic amplifiers.
