Reports are coming in that a warehouse belonging to Boutique Amps Distribution – which houses brands like Friedman Amplification, Wampler, Egnator and seven more well-respected brands – has burnt down.

Boutique Amps Distribution Fire

The fire was picked up on local CBS Los Angeles news before reaching the TGP forum and the Friedman Guitar and Amp Owners Group on Facebook. The latter Facebook group includes a lot of people that work with Friedman, so I expect this source is probably correct.

A tweet from the LA County Fire Department showed massive damage to the property in question. A firefighter was injured, the department’s Twitter feed stated later.

The Brands

Boutique Amps Distribution houses the following brands; Friedman Amplification, Wampler, Soldano, Egnator, Diezel Synergy, Matthews Effects, Tone King, Bogner and Morgan. But rather than just being a warehouse, the property is also a manufacturing facility.

It looks like this have a major impact on the prices and availability of all these brands for the foreseeable future. Plus, Summer NAMM is just around the corner and we would expect these brands to normally attend, potentially with new product lines, and so this could also be affected.
