Production<\/h2>\n

Atom amplifiers are entirely handcrafted<\/strong>: I build the wooden cabinets and finish them with my own hands. I design and test the circuits, which I build on fibreglass boards and copper eyelets using techniques that are poles apart from mass production: every component is selected, tested and assembled by hand with earthquake-proof soldering. The circuit layout is designed to allow for any type of repair, maintenance or replacement necessary, even decades after construction. <\/p>\n

Unlike large-scale industrial manufacturers, my amplifiers last longer than a lifetime so disposal in the WEEE bin at the landfill is not a possibility one will ever have to face.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/atomamps.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_6909-1024×756-1.jpg” title_text=”IMG_6909+” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” width=”90%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding=”5%||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Testing phase<\/h2>\n

ATOM amplifiers are tested both under laboratory conditions and on stage<\/strong>: first of all, I use them myself in live performances with my band, so I can see if the equipment works properly or if any changes or improvements need to be made. <\/p>\n

This is followed by the most important part of the testing process, which involves putting the amplifiers in the hands of professional musicians to gather their expert opinions. This provides me with invaluable insight into the quality of my products, where improvements can be made to achieve a certain result, and what to focus on in order to offer the highest quality amplifiers possible.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0d0d0d” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/atomamps.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/al-lavoro.jpg” alt=”Technical Assistance” title_text=”al-work” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” width=”90%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0d0d0d” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/atomamps.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/auto-gialla-1024×497.jpg” alt=”Guitar amplifier realization” title_text=”auto-yellow” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”5%||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
