The Decker Amp Co. Hummingbird 20 — featuring Colin Decker's lovely cleans and gain, 2 band EQ, exclusive 3-voice reverb circuit and all-tube power scaling — paired up with my 2002 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8 Historic, Ron Ellis LRP Humbuckers, wired with my signature Emerson Custom x Edge of Breakup Les Paul Prewired Kit & Emerson Custom Treble Bleeds on both volumes. The R2R Electric Klone (Serial #004) and R2R Electric x Henri Cash Cash Boost both feature.

Handbuilt entirely in California, Decker amplifiers capture the warmth and soul of classic tube amps while offering the touch-sensitivity, reliability, and features modern players need. Drawn from Colin Decker's decades of playing, touring, and modifying amps for studio and stage, Decker amps are original designs reflecting his "just play" philosophy — cathode-biased circuits for harmonic richness, simple controls that keep you focused on playing, and responsive combos that feel alive in the room.

The Hummingbird 20 succeeds the Hummingbird 15 — and the improvements are substantial. All-tube power output attenuation across six profiles: 20W, 18W, 15W, 10W, 5W, and 1W — true output-tube attenuation. The Spaces reverb circuit adds three selectable size and depth voicings.

Pedals: The R2R Electric Klone, Serial #004, is Chris Vincent's exacting take on the Klon-style transparent overdrive, hand-wired with the same no-compromise NOS component philosophy behind every R2R build. The Cash Boost is Henri Cash's (Starcrawler) signature germanium boost — a collaboration between Henri and Chris Vincent, close friends in the LA music and gear scene — built as a faithful reproduction of a 1960s Dallas Rangemaster circuit.

The Hummingbird 20 aims squarely at the conversation the internet has been having about the Deluxe Reverb being "the best amp ever," and makes the case that THIS might be the real answer.
