Fargen Olde 800 MKII Guitar Amplifier
The Fargen Olde 800 MKII is a true hand-wired, high-gain masterpiece that offers you some of the best clean and crunch tones from when rock ruled the world!
The Olde 800 MKII has that classic high gain British rock sound similar to a JCM 800 but with added sustain and super thick harmonic crunch tones. The Olde 800 MKII also achieves smooth, fat, clean tones reminiscent of classic non-master volume British amps. Our superior component quality and sound design choices make it one of the best high gain rock amps available today. The addition of the versatile Fargen “Decade Switch” gives you 25% more gain on tap in the 80′s setting than previously available on the MKI version.
The Olde 800 MKII is available in either 25 watts or 50 watts. Both have the same exact specification – just choose your wattage when you place your order.
The Olde 800 MKII also has exciting new upgrades and features:
- Custom Mercury Magnetics transformer set
- SoZo vintage style mustard capacitors
- Fargen Custom Shop resistors
- DC Filaments for ultra quiet operation
- 1/8″ aluminum chassis for the true vintage British amp sound
- New and improved 3 position rotary decade switch that alters the circuit for true 60-70-80 Marshall style tones. (JTM 45 / Plexi / JCM 800)

Hi Ben, just bought an Olde 800, it’s just wonderful. But mine is a small head, what’s the story of those?
The early models were in a smaller sized head shell…per customer request a few years back we changed the head cab size to a more tradition classic British sized head box.
Best,
Fargenamps
Hello Ben , just picked up the 800 from cliff at destroy all guitars,we were talking about 25 and 50 watts.was wondering is the only mod to make it 50 is a new tranny.kill amp Ben .thanks
Hi Lee,
Yes…the only difference between the 25W and 50W is the power transformer which is directly related to B+ ,screen and plate voltage. These aspects directly dictate the wattage of any given tube amplifier…not the tube set etc.
All the best,
Benjamin Fargen
Hay Ben , great jam last night with the 800,master volume works great ,real great amp , MK3 ????, foot switchable decade switch , long live BF!!!!

Cheers!

Ben,
I have owned an Olde 800 MK II (25w) for several months now. This amp is ridiculous! The decade switch makes me feel like I purchased three amps for the price of one. The three sounds are so dead on and perfect I can’t believe it (nor can anyone else that has heard this amp). Screw digital modeling…this is “analog modeling” at it’s best! Thanks!
