5W Half Pint (Combo)
Milkman's 5-watt Class A Half Pint combo, with onboard reverb, tremolo, and a choice of 12" speakers.
About this amp
The Half Pint is Milkman’s most versatile low-power amplifier, built around a single 6V6 power tube biased to Class A with onboard voltage-controlled power scaling, spring reverb, and tremolo. This combo pairs the circuit with a 12-inch speaker (Fane F25, Jupiter Alnico, or Fane A30), each giving the amp a different flavor, from transparent and lively to mid-forward and reactive. Hand-wired onto a turret board with custom Soursound transformers, it includes a detachable footswitch and cable.
