AHED Music Corporation, Ltd. was a Canadian company owned by Phil G. Anderson [1] that produced guitar amplifiers, as well as guitars. Its main product line was the GBX amplifier, which could reach 180 watts with 4x10", 4x12" or 2x15" speakers. The GBX amplifier had a pre-amplifier that could change the gain, brilliance, depth, contour and response of the output.
AHED, an acronym for Arc Home Entertainment Diversified, [1] was established in 1969. Anderson's earlier holding company, ARC Sound and its Arc Records subsidiary, became part of AHED in the early 1970s. [1] AHED shortened its formal name to AHED Corporation in 1978, then became Eco Corporation. [2]
In 1979, The Vannelli Brothers were using a GBX amplifier to mix their keyboards. [3] AHED Music Corporation also had their GBX amplification products endorsed by the popular 70's rock/jazz fusion group Lighthouse.
