The Tone King Gremlin 5 Watt Amplifier Head is the low-wattage tube amp you’ve been looking for — if you want an American-voiced amp reminiscent of the golden era, classic, tweed and blackface tones. This amp may be small, but it is mighty — plenty loud for not just the studio, but live performances with drums and other accompanying instruments.
Featuring two inputs, Rhythm and Lead, the simplicity and versatility of this amp is another place where it shines. Plugging into the Rhythm input, you will get a blackface-style sound with plenty of high headroom, and clean, bright highs. Plugging into the Lead input will get you a driven tweed-like sound with dynamic natural compression, and a smooth midrange for cutting through a mix.
Adding to the versatility of this amp, it comes equipped with Tone King’s Ironman II power attenuator, allowing you to achieve the dirtiest vintage tones at near whisper volume - or the cleanest classic American tones at a punchy, loud volume. Lastly, this amp allows for foot switching between channels with a A/B/Y switch (not included).
