Category 5 is built on a partnership between Don Ritter and Steve Scott that began as a way to make amplifiers and raise money (and awareness) for charity at the same time. 

The focus was first on charities providing relief for natural disaster victims (of the Asian tsunami and hurricanes Katrina and Rita), thus the names of the company and its amplifiers. As it has grown, so has the scope of both the products and the philanthropy, which supports an expanding list of worthy causes.

"I’ve been using Category 5 amps for the last five years, I’m the studio and on the road. I get asked about them every night. They give me what I’m looking for: a full-range, warm sound with beautiful overtones, clarity and responsiveness. "

"I have been playing the big “tweed” 4x10’s that Category 5 put out a few years ago. They are an homage to one of the greatest amplifier circuits (in my opinion) that has ever been produced; and Category 5’s version of it is my favorite amp."
Chris Beall - South Austin Moonlighters35 Watt Bassman
“It’s a real workhorse; theaters, clubs and pubs. Straight in and working the guitar’s volume knob, or using pedals, this amp sings.”
Hunter St Marie - South Austin Moonlighters35 Watt Bassman
