The Amp
Milkman's original pedalboard-format amplifier: a 50W tube-preamp/Class D power amp that can drive a real cabinet, run silent through headphones, or sit inline as a tone stage.
About this amp
The Amp is a 50-watt guitar amplifier built into a pedal-sized enclosure. Its single-12AX7 Class A preamp delivers the harmonics and touch response of a real tube amp, with onboard reverb and tremolo and built-in bypass footswitches. A Class D power section outputs 50W into 8 ohms or 100W into 4 ohms through a combo 1/4-inch/Speakon jack, and it can also run with no speaker attached thanks to a built-in headphone amp and balanced XLR line out. Small and light enough to live on a pedalboard, it works as a standalone amp, a direct-recording preamp, or a tone-shaping stage anywhere in a pedal chain.
