Sound Cargo and Dawson Amp Repair are Portland's local specialists in vacuum tube gear. Together with the owner, Matthew Dawson, we crafted a vibrant retro aesthetic that speaks to their audience of vintage tube amp-loving musicians.

Inspired by the typography and design of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and a visual language that immediately resonates with our mutual demographic of musicians and artists, I think we have more than hit the mark and the brand just keeps growing!
