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 is the bare head, sold without a cabinet, for players who want to pair it with their own speaker. Hand-wired onto a turret board with custom Soursound transformers, it includes a detachable footswitch and cable.
