The sunn Legacy...
In early 1963, a band from Oregon called “The Kingsmen” hit the charts
with a catchy little tune called Louie Louie. The Kingsmen quickly became
household names and Louie Louie the rock anthem of the decade.
With a hit single under their belt, The Kingsmen soon found
themselves embarking on a 50 state national tour. One of the first
things bassist Norm Sundholm discovered was that his bass amp,
while fine for hops and school dances, did not have the power
necessary for the larger concert halls to which the band had ascended.
To solve this dilemma, Norm enlisted the help of his brother Conrad
and by 1964 the brothers Sundholm had designed the world’s first high
powered concert bass amplifier.
1965 saw the demand for the Sundholms’ amplifiers increase to the point
that the family garage would no longer serve as a suitable manufacturing
facility. Thus, the SUNN Musical Equipment Company was born.
As the years passed, countless pioneers of rock would rely on SUNN
amplifiers to carry the weight. The Who, Moody Blues, Cream,
Steppenwolf, Kiss, Rush, Queen and a little music festival in up-state New
York all endorsed SUNN equipment.
Today, your new SUNN amplifier embodies this rich tradition and
combines it with a vision for the future ensuring this American institution
known for big sound will continue to be heard.
