Founded by
Conrad Sundholm
in 1965. Conrad's brother,
Norm Sundholm
, was the bass player for northwestern garage rockers
The Kingsmen
, notorious for their rendition of
Richard Berry
's "
Louie Louie
". Norm was dissatisfied with the amount of
volume
produced by his
bass cabinet
when the Kingsmen went on tour. He enlisted his brother to help rectify the problem. After building his first amplifier in 1964, an increase in demand from guitarists and bass players led to Conrad founding the Sunn amplifier company. In 1969, Sunn amplifiers powered the sound system at the
Woodstock Music and Arts Fair
.
Sunn amplifiers have enjoyed favor with demanding musicians over the years, used by such bands as
The Who
and
Rush
. Most recently they have enjoyed acclaim from those in the
doom metal
and
sludge
worlds, with artists from powerhouse doom label
Southern Lord
such as
Goatsnake
,
Burning Witch
, and
Khanate
championing them.
Joe Preston
of
The Thrones
also uses a Sunn amp. Another Southern Lord band featuring members of some of the afore-mentioned groups has even paid the company tribute in it's name, calling themselves
Sunn 0)))
