Availability may change at any time. To be sure, please contact the store before you buy.
- Practise without waking the house. The amp goes straight into the guitar jack socket and your headphones go into it – no cabinet, no cables across the floor.
- Three amp tones. Clean for chords, Overdrive for a warm American-amp push, Distortion for a grainy modern high-gain sound.
- Five controls. Ambient, MOD, Tone, Gain and Volume, each on its own knob rather than buried in a menu.
- Reverb, echo and tremolo built in. Switch them in at the front panel; turn MOD to minimum and the modulation is simply off.
- 67 grams, 100 mm wide. It lives in the guitar case pocket and weighs less than a packet of strings.
- Hard ABS housing. The moulded jack body takes the weight instead of the socket.
An amp the size of your palm
Most practice happens in the half hour before bed, which is exactly when an amp is a problem. This one has no speaker: it takes the signal straight from the guitar jack and sends it to your headphones, so the sound stays between you and the instrument.
The three tones
Clean keeps the guitar as it is – useful for chords and for hearing your own mistakes. Overdrive adds the warm compression of a classic American valve amp, the sound that sits under most rock rhythm playing. Distortion goes further, into the grainy high-gain territory of modern metal tones.
What each knob does
Gain sets how hard the input is driven, Volume sets what reaches your headphones, and Tone shifts the whole thing brighter or darker. Ambient adds space around the signal and MOD sets how much modulation you hear; wound fully down, MOD is off. The reverb, echo and tremolo effects are selected with the small switches on the front.
What is in the box
The amplifier itself, in hard ABS plastic, 100 mm wide and 67 grams. Headphones and guitar are not included. The unit is designed for a standard 6.35 mm guitar jack socket.
