New Sensor Corporation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Sensor Corporation , headquartered in New York City (head office: 32-33 47th Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101, USA) is a manufacturer of electronic tubes , effects units and tube amplifiers for musical instruments. The company was founded by entrepreneur Mike Matthews in the late 1960s and is still privately owned today.

New Sensor also includes the Sovtek and Electro-Harmonix brands . The latter was originally founded as an independent company by Mike Matthews in the late 1960s. At the end of the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union , New Sensor took over the trademark rights and manufacturing facility of ExpoPul / Sovtek (a former industrial combine) in Saratov , Russia. These are also used by the company to manufacture tubes of its own house brand Electro-Harmonix. Apparently, New Sensor then acquired the rights to use brands from former tube manufacturers from their former owners. New Sensor currently also manufactures and sells Genalex , Mullard , Tung-Sol and Svetlana tubes . Well-known manufacturers of guitar amplifiers also have special series of tubes manufactured by the company according to their own manufacturing and selection parameters. For example, Mesa Engineering manufactures its own "labeled" tubes or the "Marshall" tubes for Marshall Amplification .

Today New Sensor is one of the world's largest manufacturers of electron tubes . The company sells its own tubes and tubes from other manufacturers via its own internet platform.
