Ben Sullivan
Ben Sullivan
Ben - der u.a. einen kleinen Gitarrenladen in der Nähe von St. Pölten betreibt - bringt seit 2012 unter dem Namen "Ben Sullivan & Band" mit Eignekompositionen, Covers & -Interpretationen viel Schwung in die Blues- / Soul- / Singer-Songwriter - Szene.
Mit unserem Pico 8" ausgerüstet bestreitet er seit 2018 die kleinen bis mittleren Gigs. Sein Komentar nach kurzer Kennenlernzeit: "Mir gefällt die Eigenständigkeit vom Sound (warmes, bluesiges Klangbild) & mir gefällt es sehr, dass er sehr gut auf dynamisches Gitarrenspiel reagiert. Weiters finde ich das Gewicht, den Hall und die Möglichkeit, eine Box anzuschließen sehr gut."

"Ich hatte noch nie einen Verstärker, der so schön aussieht, so praktisch in einer Hand zu tragen ist und so einen wunderbaren Sound hat. In Kombination mit meiner Gretsch ein Traum."

Stubnblues, Willi ResetaritsAfter purchasing his 1st 'Little Muk' Stefan straightway ordered a 2nd one for his stereo-setup with the following message to us:
"The Little Muk is unbelieveable! I've hardly ever heard an amplifier which operates so directly and dynamically. It's a real pleasure to play with such a machine.
And that at a weight where you don't fly the spinal discs around your ears - well, most of us carry their stuff by themselfes." -

Und meine Liebste hat mir den Kopf nicht abgerissen, sondern gesagt: süss ist der. Das Foto ist vom Popfest, alles Liebe, bin echt hochzufrieden mit eurem Hefn."Seit Sept. 2017 ist der brandneue, mit Ernst entwickelte Pico 8" Combo sein neuer Begleiter für kleinere Gigs, beim Wilderer-Singspiel "Mayerling" im Rabenhoftheater ...

Chris Fillmore
Chris Fillmore
Chris is probably Austria's internationally best known and most respected blues guitarist. He composes, produces and travels around the world together with the special singer & guitarist Meena Cryle and his 'Chris Fillmore Band'.
Since summer 2017 we're happy, Chris now does this with one of our amplifiers! :-) After one of the first gigs with the new amp he wrote us:"As a full-time-guitarrero I've already played a lot of different amps through the years - mainly Fender. However, this here is a serious competiton! The "Scrambler" impressed me enormously because of its versatility and its warm sound. Now I use it on tour on our "rock shows" as well as for smaller club-gigs. I like the fact very much that it suits from bluesy tones in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughan to rock sounds á la Led Zeppelin - so I'm more than happy with the Scrambler. I will strongly recommend the "Nepomuks"! Insider tip!!!"

Dave Goodman
Dave Goodman
Most people are familiar with Dave because of his extremely virtuoso accoustic guitar songs, heard on various guitar clincs, workshops, fairs or his own records and concerts. But also on e-guitars he is a highly gifted virtuoso.
In the beginning of 2018 he recorded his new CD "Cut To The Chase" with our Little Muk.
After finishing the records he wrote us: "With the 'Little Muk' I have all the flexibility I need. With “half power / full power” switching and channel switching together with a 6V6 power stage, this amp is for me the perfect marriage between sweet vintage tube tone and modern gain sounds. This little amp is mighty.” -

Mary Broadcast, Unartig, Sumawind, Sunrise16, Fii, Natalia Kelly, Anna F., Leroy Emmanuel, Karl Ritter, Ulli Bäer...In sring 2014 Jimi wrote us: "As a musician you are always searching for the perfect sound. Finally I have found it since I play this Nepumuk '08/18' amp. For me personally it's the best sounding guitar amp at all and I can't imagine no more to enter a stage without this amp."
Now in Feb. 2017 because of new band-projects & bigger stages he switched to our new Scrambler combo and wrote us in a nutshell: "The amp is simply just ingenious!" -

Shorty raves about his '08/18' purchased in fall 2014:
"THANKS that it was still invented by you - the ultimate LITTLE amp! My constant companion on stage and in the studio. It workes perfect with my floarboard and has a really beautyful clean tone, a sensationall dynamic and responds to the most sensitive nuances. I am completely thrilled!"By now, Shorty already owns a 'Kleiner Muk' combo & alos a head about which he reports over and over again enthusiastically. What particularly pleases us of course also over and over again.

Leroy Emmanuel
Leroy Emmanuel
Leroy Emmanuel (USA) ist vermutlich einer der letzten noch international tätigen Musiker, welche die Entstehung und den Erfolg von "Motown" erlebt und gestaltet haben. Geboren in Atlanta zieht es ihn bald nach Detroit wo er mit seinen Jugendfreunden (wie Marvin Gaye oder John Lee Hooker) den Soul erforscht und entscheidend mitprägt. Er spielt und produziert mit zahlreichen Giganten des Genres wie Marvin Gaye, Ike Turner, The Temptations, spielt nahezu alle Alben von "Bohannan" ein und ist Gründer und Kopf der "Fabulous Counts"
Leroy, dessen „Daumenstil“ á la Wes Montgomery – ohne Plektrum – auf vielen Motown Aufnahmen zu hören ist, spielt sich bis heute souverän durch die Geschichte von Soul, Funk, R&B und Jazz.
Er besticht nicht nur als Gitarrist und Sänger. Der Entertainer alter Schule strahlt ausserdem eine berührend natürliche Authentizität aus und schafft es mühelos, das Publikum in seinen Bann zu ziehen. Neben Emmanuels Eigenkompositionen wie etwa "The CNN Blues" oder "Your Body Is Hot", bringt er jedes Publikum mit Hits wie My Girl, Brick House oder On the Broadway zum Shaken. Als einer der letzten Zeitzeugen der Motown-Ära unterhält er das Publikum mit Stories über Freunde und Musikerkollegen wie Marvin Gaye oder George Benson, auch die „Funky Spoons“ des professionellen Löffelspielers gehören zum Programm.Nun ist Leroy mit einem Nepomuk 08/18 Combo unterwegs.

Furthermore, Christian Becker worked with the musical artists Georg Danzer, Birgit Denk, Kurt Ostbahn, Leo Bei, Bernie Penzias, Lydia Hermann and many more.
Since Oct. 2014 Christian performs with a 'Kleiner Muk' & he informed us of the following:
"When I discovered your amplifiers, I felt straight away constrained to create a new home to a 'little Muk' :-) A mind-blowing amp!
I play it since that time live with my own project, with Andy Baum and quite often in my live club the 'Local', because the amplifier has really persuaded me!"

John ist neben der eigenen Jazz Band, dem John Arman Organ Trio, viel unterwegs als Sideman od. Lead-Gitarrist in diversen Konstellationen zB. mit Harry Sokal, Hans Sigl, Richie Beirach, Jeremy Pelt, Vincent Herring, Conchita Wurst...
Als wir ihn Im Herst 2018 zufällig bei einem Gitarrenbauer trafen und er sogleich seine Archtop bei unserem Pico Amp ansteckte, war er sofort von dem warmen, harmonischen und sehr dynamischen Klang des kleinen 8W-Amps angetan. Seither spielt John einen Pico 8" & für größere Band-Konstellationen einen Scrambler Combo.

Unfortunately, Heinz left the world stage completely unexpected in August 2023. Rock in Peace, Prof. Dr. AIM!
Heinz' credits:
Harald Fendrich, Maurice Mouton (...100.000 Volts), AIM (American Institute of Music, Vienna), Guitar Hotel, Aktiv Urchester, Die ReiHeinz wrote us how fantastically he finds the "Little Muk" - which is his work-horse since the beginning of 2016 - and how long he had already looked at other manufacturers in vain...
In short (direct quote Heinz): "This ist the most awesome amp I ever played. Plug in + play = sounds great - without having to search long!"
Then he added: "In 1992 (as head of the harmony department at A.I.M.) I was offered an endorser contract by a well-known manufacturer north of San Francisco. With two colleagues I tried for almost 3 hours to get a good sound out... Conclusion from Wayne Brasel (head of the fusion guitar department at that time): "The good sound is probably somewhere in there. I just can't get it out." The little Muk is the opposite of that! We haven't endorsed." -

Supervision, some call it Reggae-Techno, others the probably coolest austrian Ska band.
Markus: "Since 2011, the 'Nepomuk Rocket 50' combo - in an especially for me adjusted design - is my best friend on all stages and studio productions. After permanently searching for the perfect amp, I found it finally at teh guys from Nepomuk amplification. On this way, I'd like to say thank you for the great support and perfect work! Keep it up!

Christoph 'Steini' Steinlechner
Another long-standing user & friend of the house of Nepomuk.
As a play-technically very gifted musician (from blues to ultra-fast modern metal) he topically gives his skill to the best in the thrash metal band Cemetery Dust.
His 'Super Rocket' - based spezial model 'Nero' (which is equipped with our lead preamp of the 'Preämp') is virtually the predecessor of the 'Painkiller' - head of our business partner TWSP, which is on the market since summer 2015.
