The early Sunn amplifiers relied heavily on tube amplifiers designed by David Hafler and preamps sold by the Dynaco Hi-fi company, with many of the first units actually containing power amplifier chassis sold by Dynaco (models MKII, MKIII, MKIV) as well as modified Dyna PAS1 preamplifiers. By 1964, the Sundholm brothers had designed a high-powered concert bass amplifier. Sundholm enlisted the help of his brother Conrad to help solve his problem. Bassist Norm Sundholm discovered that his bass amp was not nearly powerful enough to play larger concert halls. Because the band was used to playing small hops and school dances, many of the members found themselves ill-equipped with the amplifiers that they were currently using. After its hit single, the band soon embarked on a 50-state national tour. In early 1963, the Kingsmen, a band based in Portland, Oregon, became known for their hit version of the song " Louie, Louie". Sunn (stylized in all lowercase) amplifiers was a brand of musical instrument amplifiers based in Tualatin, Oregon, United States.
