Tim Evans and Phil George knew that they could create great Amplifiers by using their skills, knowledge, experience and their ability to work together as a great team.

 Several years ago Phil went out shopping to find the best Combo out there to save dragging his 4x12 Cabs and Heads to his min. 3-5 gigs per week. To his disbelief he could not find one Amp on the market that met his standards for features, versatility and way above all, Tone.

George Evans simply had to happen to get the Versatility, Features and Sound even if it took many heartbreaking years to do it. Tim with a Soldering iron and Phil with a Guitar.

Phil really pushed Tims expertise right to the edge, and sometimes beyond, to create some of the Best tones they have ever heard from any Guitar Amplifier. The Sonique range is the culmination of around 12 years of painstaking R&D together. Their greatest joy is now to see you smile when you play one!

Tim Evans had this passion for Valve gear since the age of 16 and is even more passionate about them to this day.

Tim studied at R.M.I.T over 30 years ago and then he started his business doing what he loved, and that is servicing and building gear for the music industry. As a guitar player himself, his passion was to build Guitar and Bass gear and so Labsystems was born. Tim gained the enormous respect of many great Artists and Peers in the Industry as the Electronics Designer of all premium Bass Products for Labsystems Australia. He built Equipment for Hoodoo Gurus, Screaming Jets, The Angels, Greg McCainsh (Skyhooks) Powderfinger, Silverchair and many, many others.

Tims enviable talents and Proven track record for great Electronic design now combine with Phils expertise in Guitar tone, Professional playing experience and keen Ear to co-create George Evans Custom Amplifiers. For Tim and Phil this is not about making money, this is all about making great Amplifiers.

 It is their passion

Great Guitar tone has always been of Ultimate importance to Phil. He has been playing professionally in Original, Cover and Corporate bands in every State to many crowds up to 20,000 people and is still currently working. As a Guitar Player, he has never been out of work and that is a very long time..!

 He simply always had to have a great Guitar sound... An average sound is just, and will never be good enough.

Phil asked Tim to Hotrod his 76 Marshall in the late 80s. That Marshall is easily one of the best sounding Marshalls to come to the workshop, and will never be returned to stock because of Tims work.

Many of Phils Vintage Amplifiers and Guitars and keen Ear for the best Guitar tone, are integral in the toning in process of our Custom Amps.
