About Us

On May 2nd 2000, the day his daughter Madison was born, Andy Hitch created Madison Amps. Now over 20 years into designing and building speakers and amplifiers Madison Amps is taking hold in the industry. Located in the Mountains of Colorado, secluded from city life, the people at Madison spend their days building everything from scratch with pride and passion.

"We are not in this because we found a way to make a buck" says Andy Hitch. "We do this because it IS who we are. We are ALL musicians here, music and playing in bands is our life. We do this because it is what we love and we are good at what we do."

Madison Amps

And you expected to see a big ole steel building factory in the slums of Denver huh?

Forget that! This is where Madison amps and cabs are made and we love it!

Wildlife

Any given summer day, you never know whats going to turn up at the shop. This young black bear milled around the shop for about a half an hour summer of 2008.

The coolest scene is when the elk pass through in the fall. Watching them Bugle and fight for supremacy from 50 feet away is quite the sight.
