DRGN 100 Custom Shop is the most complete expression of 3rd Powers British high-gain platformbuilt for players who want the authority, harmonic complexity, and physical response of a great Plexi-inspired amplifier, with expanded control and modern stage-ready flexibility. This is not a copy of the past. It is a fully realized 3rd Power interpretation of British crunch and lead tonedesigned to deliver impact, articulation, and feel from the first note. Voice & Response Rooted in the power and feel of late-60s British amplifiers, DRGN 100 Custom Shop extends that foundation into something more responsive, more dimensional, and more usable across real-world playing situations. It delivers the punch, growl, and harmonic richness players expect, while preserving note separation, touch sensitivity, and control across the gain range. The result is an amp that feels immediate under the hands and alive in the roomcapable of authoritative rhythm tone, vocal lead work, and dynamic transition directly from the guitar. Custom Shop Expression This is the platform in its fullest formmaximum tonal authority, expanded control, and elevated fit and finish. Every element is designed around musical response. Not excess. Not complication. Command. Built for the Stage. Worthy of the Studio. DRGN 100 Custom Shop delivers the size, force, and dimensionality required for major stages, while retaining the nuance and harmonic depth that make great recorded tones feel complete and alive. Whether used as a pure British voice or the centerpiece of a professional rig, it delivers the full emotional and physical experience of electric guitar amplificationwithout compromise. FEATURES 100-watt all-tube amplifier head 3rd Powers flagship British-voiced performance platform Designed for authoritative clean-to-crunch-to-lead expression High harmonic complexity, fast response, and strong note separation Built for professional stage and studio use Custom Shop execution with elevated fit and finish Build & Lead Time Each DRGN 100 Custom Shop amplifier is built in small production runs using premium components and proven circuit design. Current lead time is approximately 1012 weeks from order. They often deliver sooner as production allows, but this window ensures your amplifier is built, tested, and fully dialed before it ships.

If you have questions about configuration, compatibility, or how a model fits your rig, were here to help you choose with confidence. SPECIFICATIONS Performance Architecture DRGN 100 Custom Shop is built around a dual-voice gain structure that moves from classic British authority into fully developed high-gain articulation without losing identity. The Plexi foundation delivers immediacy, harmonic texture, and midrange authority. The cascaded gain structure extends that voice into higher saturation while preserving clarity, note separation, and control. This is not a switch between two amplifiers. It is a continuous system designed to maintain coherence across gain levels. British-voiced Plexi preamp foundation Cascaded high-gain architecture (switchable) Class-A cathode follower tone stack integration Phase inverter tuned for dynamic response and authority Control Architecture The control system in DRGN 100 Custom Shop is designed to shape not just tone, but the behavior of the amplifier under the hands. Frequency shaping, gain structure, and response characteristics are interconnected, allowing the player to refine attack, sustain, and harmonic density without disconnecting from the core voice of the amp. Dual-mode EQ: JTM / JMP voicing 400Hz boost for body and string balance Ultra Presence: selectable high-frequency contour points FOCUS mode: shifts midrange response and projection Low frequency push for added weight and authority Power & Response System The DRGN 100 is built around a 100W EL34 output platform designed for authority, headroom, and composure under real performance conditions. The power section is tuned to maintain clarity and dimensionality at volume, preserving the integrity of the signal as it moves from preamp articulation into full output stage expression. Quad EL34 output section (Class AB, fixed bias) ~495V DC plate voltage for full dynamic range Solid-state rectification for tight response and stability Custom USA-wound transformers by Heyboer Volume & Stage Integration DRGN 100 Custom Shop integrates patented volume management technology designed to maintain tonal integrity across a wide range of playing environments. Rather than reducing the amplifier to a lower-power version of itself, the system manages voltage, current, and output behavior to preserve feel, response, and harmonic structure at any usable volume. HybridMASTER volume management (patented) Venue Mode attenuation (patented) Maintains tone and feel across volume levels Designed for stage, studio, and controlled environments Foot-switchable gain and solo boost integration Build & Construction Every DRGN 100 Custom Shop amplifier is hand-built in the United States using carefully selected components and a construction approach designed for long-term reliability and consistent performance.
