Kasha Amplifiers, Inc started out in the back of a music store called ABK Rocks located in San Fernando Valley in the early 80’s.  John Kasha was the amplifier tech and was L.As amp mod guy to many famous artists and bands of that time. John designed the first all tube guitar preamp called the Rockmod which gave birth to Kasha Amplifiers.

ABK was a music store that musicians from all over LA went for gear and music lessons.  Many musicians from Jake E Lee (Badlands), Craig Goldie (DIO), Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson), Chris Impellitteri and many more came to this store for the Kasha Mod.  The mod was so popular with 80s hard rock bands, it became known as the Rockmod.  Later John created the first all tube preamp called Rockmod I, II and now III.  George Lynch (Lynch Mob), Paul Jackson Jr. (Michael Jackson), Dan Huff (Giant), Tracy Guns became big fans.  It was and still is the best preamp money can buy and received 5 stars from Guitar Player and Guitar World magazines.
