Reinhardt The Storm 33
Reinhardt · amplifier
The Reinhardt Storm 33 is a boutique 33-watt Class A all-tube amplifier built by Bob Reinhardt, using high-grade components including Heyboer transformers, Sozo Vintage capacitors, Mallory 150 caps, one-percent tolerance resistors, and Teflon wiring throughout for a low-noise, highly articulate signal path. Mark Knopfler has toured with dual Storm 33 units on multiple recent tours including the Kill to Get Crimson and Get Lucky cycles, drawn to its touch-sensitive, warm, and full tonal character well suited to his clean-to-edge-of-breakup playing style. Reinhardt stopped building amplifiers around 2008, making surviving Storm 33 units increasingly scarce and sought after among players specifically chasing this boutique circuit's character.
