We are proud to create our standard line of equipment. At the same time we are open to engineer and build products fully to our client s specific requirements and expectations.

We love the sound of our equipment but we are convinced just the same care should be taken about the look of our products.

2 Company and Brand We are Encore Seven and we are a European manufacturer of handcrafted musical tube amplifiers. We produce high fidelity stereo tube audio amplifiers for home use, as well, as the equipment dedicated for musicians. And we are passionate about what we do! We are proud to create our standard line of equipment. At the same time we are open to engineer and build products fully to our client s specific requirements and expectations. What makes ourselves unique is the philosophy and great attention we put in each step of design and manufacturing. The result is always the same: a device meticulously crafted to exacting standard. We love the sound of our equipment but we are convinced just the same care should be taken about the look of our products. Distinctive, beautiful design of our tube amplifiers has received just as much acclamation, from our clients and reviewers, as the sound they are capable of reproducing. The name: Encore Seven was introduced at the market in 2010 and since the very beginning it has been associated with premium quality components (coming from well recognised brands like: Svetlana, Electro-Harmonix, TungSol, Jamicon). We only work with skilled and experienced professionals to ensure our products will deliver uncompromised quality and satisfy the most demanding musical ear. We own the Egg-Shell brand which covers all the existing models of our tube amplifiers. Our experience in engineering and production of the vacuum tube-based musical equipment has its beginnings in the mid-90s of the 20th century. So has the brand name and the Egg-Shell logo. It was the time when one of the company owners started his first experiments and attempts to design and create his home made valve amplifier for guitar to use in the band he played in. Right the next step was to build a unit to listen to music at home. He built it for himself, slowly, with no rush, with the paramount ambition in mind: the sound to be reproduced with help of this amplifier should be perfect enough to satisfy the designer himself. This special sound was soon given a name: the Egg-Shell.
