"Most
owners of well-maintained Princeton Reverb amps adopt
a deeply reverent and respectful tone when describing the sound
of their amps, because the clean settings with reverb dancing
in
the background sound like no other small amp we can think of,
and the Headstrong delivers the same inspiring tones ... yer
Tele or Strat will produce timeless examples of clean and glorious
12 watt Fender blackfacedness in the Lil’ King –
clear, shimmering, liquid ‘60s tone drenched in luscious
spring reverb... Pretty damn hard to beat." ToneQuest
Report
In
2004 Headstrong Amplifiers released the Lil'
King, the world’s first replica of the 1964 Princeton®
Reverb-Amp. The Lil'
King was instantly received with critical acclaim
from players, dealers and press.
A painstakingly re-creation of the original, the Lil'
King is one of the best small gig/rehearsal/recording
amps of all time. Whether you are looking for a practice amp
or a portable gig amp to take on the go, it'll inspire you!

“In essence, the Dirty Little
Secret is a ‘foundation’ pedal –
a sonic platform to build the rest of your sound upon. It reacts
to your playing dynamics and respects the character of your
guitar’s pickups just like the classic British amplifiers
it emulates. Use it to set your base crunch rhythm sound into
a clean amp, roll your guitar’s volume back for cleans.
The controls are simple and effective – Loudness
governs output, Tone morphs from smooth and fat to crunchy and
cutting, Gain goes from clean and clear to full crunch with
harmonics, and the Rock/Rawk switch selects 60s - 70s JTM/JMP
sounds (Rock) or ‘80s JCM tones (Rawk).”
For a pedal that sounds and feels like you're playing some
of the best British amps ... in fact, that doesn't feel or sound
like you're using the a pedal at all - try the Dirty
Little Secret by Catalinbread!

designed with tight tolerances to match the Lava Mini
ELC cable. The Lava Plug is the first
solder-free DIY plug on the market not to use a set-screw to
make the ground connection. Instead, a sleeve making 360 degree
ground and outer jacket contact is used."

“We used our ZT amps for the filming
(VH1 Storytellers) last night and they performed beautifully…!
LOUD!” - Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
We never thought we'd get excited about a tube-less amp ...
but here we are, loving the new Lunchbox from
ZT Amplifiers!
The Lunchbox defies every preconception and
exceeds every expectation. It's caught on with big names such
as ZZ Top, Wilco, Sonic Youth, Echo And The Bunnymen
and MGMT - not as a backstage practice amp, but onto
the stage as part of a live rig and into the studio too.
It looks cute, but this amp is no toy! If you're looking for
an (extremely) portable rig with great tone and projection (try
it through a good 2x12 cabinet!) the ZT Amplifiers Lunchbox
could be just the ticket!

"Lil
Elvis is a breakthrough amplifier rooted in some lost designs
from the early 60’s best designer. Based on a 2xEL84 power
section, 12AX7 front end and a clean output of 12 watts. The
authority and vocabulary of this little amp are truly surprising
and inspiring. One will never feel that he’s playing a
small amplifier at all. With the feel of a mini-4x12 rig, Lil
Elvis is truly a pleasure for the rock, country, jazz, R&B
and hard rockers alike.
In addition to a truly astonishing vocabulary, touch response
and harmonic content, Lil Elvis has 65’s “Master
Voltage” (patent applied for). Our Master Voltage is a
large leap forward in power technology. Not a scaling schema,attenuator
or master volume, the Master Voltage keeps the entire vocabulary,
authority, and responses down to 2 or 3 watts. This feature
makes Lil Elvis an outstanding recording, small club or large
stage amp especially when in-ear monitors are required for your
gig."
We couldn't have said it better! All the gorgeous chiming cleans
you expect from a pair of EL84's and a raw-and-rockin' lead
tone with the "Bump" switch engaged. And the Master
Voltage really works for reducing the wattage while keeping
the tone convincing at very low volumes. |

"Tonal
treasure is the new Duende amp, a giant leap
forward in the quest for a versatile lower-wattage channel-switching,
reverb and tremolo-equipped 'grab and go' amp ..."
The
Bogner Duende is the perfect amp for those who love
the simplicity and soulful tones of vintage amps, but need modern
versatility such as channel-switching, FX loops, recording outputs
etc.
Channel A has sweet, warm clean tones that can be pushed into
bluesy breakup. Channel B has the chunky gain tones you've come
to expect from Bogner. And the best part - you can combine the
channels to create a variety of 'in-between' settings and tones.
Add that to the shimmering spring reverb and throbbing tube-driven
tremolo, and you've got an extremely versatile little amp! |
