Gnome : Solid little amplifier!

3 years ago

I have been using this amplifier for well over a year now and have been very pleased with it! I have used it predominantly as a preamplifier and DI at the end of the signal chain of my pedal board for recording or live use with in-ear monitoring, but have also used it to drive a number of different cabinets. When used with a cabinet, the amp outputs a decently loud 200W with plenty of clean headroom. It is very hard to get this amplifier to distort noticeably. The amp has a clean, transparent and clear tonal character. Partly due to the fairly high input impedance, a passive bass with a long cable will still retain its clarity. The construction of the amplifier, with its aluminium chassis, feels solid and premium. I would heartily recommend this amplifier. I prefer its tone to many amplifiers that cost far more! I would certainly buy another if something were to happen to mine.

P.S. It's tiny! It is smaller than my compressor pedal.
