This is an exciting new product in the RockBeach lineup! A hand-wired 1/2 watt two-stage guitar amplifier, powered by a simple 9v battery for hours and hours! Two levels of gain provide clean to crunch and a more aggressive clean to metal gain with the flip of a switch. Standard 1/4" phone plug input and output. Input level, and tone are all controlled at the guitar. These amps are all hand-wired point-to-point by me and personally tested before shipping.
Amps "A-La-Carte" (no box or container but fully wired and functional) are $65.00 USD, plus shipping. Mounting in a container of your choice is additional $20.00 if you provide the container. The chassis measures approximately 2.25" x 2.25" x 1.25" plus space for two switches, two 1/4" phone jacks, and 9v battery and holder. Prices for enclosures I provide vary based on the enclosure used. Contact me for prices and availability.
We have a new option available for a L-Pad master volume control! With this option, you can control overdrive and output level independently...It is like having a gain level control and a master volume control. Also, it is extremely effective when using this amp for a headphone amp. Price of this option is $10 for a-la-carte or $15 for installed into enclosure.
Don't let its diminutive size or simplicity in appearance fool you. This thing rawks! I delivered one to Phil Keaggy and Brian Persall (his road manager) for trial and they were extremely impressed by its tone when pushing a 1 x 12. This will run any guitar speaker cabinet from 1 x 8 to 4x12 to rattle the walls volumes. 4-16 ohms recommended.
You can hear one on the "Listen to them!" page on the side menu... Website designer Jose Kercado recorded a really slick blues jam using his Telecaster through a J-Station on a clean patch with reverb first with the clean channel driven at 5 on the guitar and J-Station. He started on the bridge pickup and switched to the middle and then the neck and reversed the order on the high gain channel. Unfortunately, he seemed to have a grounding problem in the guitar that made itself known in the high gain side, but he really did give the amp a worthy demo! Thanks, man!
